Chad Tracy’s job as manager of the Worcester Red Sox means he is trying to win baseball games every night while also developing talent for the Boston Red Sox.

That means it’s a constant juggling act, but Tracy embraces the challenge. He is in contact with the big club all the time to make sure they are all on the same page.

Tracy loves having Ryan Fitzgerald in the line-up. “Fitzy” has recently played some first base. He is a Swiss army knife for the WooSox. You can put him anywhere and he contributes. That versatility helps Worcester win, but will also help Fitzy get to the big leagues.
