Professional career
Colorado Rockies
Tracy would not appear at the MLB level again until the 2004 season.
He spent the 2002 and 2003 seasons in the minor league systems of the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies, respectively.
Tracy returned to the majors in 2004, appearing in 15 games for the Rockies, serving primarily as a pinch hitter. A .188 batting average with no home runs and one RBI was Tracy's offensive result by season's end.
Tracy began the 2005 season playing for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the Triple-AAA affiliate of the Rockies.
Philadelphia Phillies
Tracy was invited to attend Spring Training with the Philadelphia Phillies as a non-roster invitee prior to the 2008 season, but was assigned to minor league camp on March 9, 2008. Tracy was assigned to the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in Allentown, Pennsylvania until his call up to Philadelphia on August 23, 2008. Before his call-up Tracy had not appeared at the MLB level since October 3, 2004. Tracy was designated for assignment on August 27 and was outrighted to the minors, but returned when the rosters expanded on September 1. He broke his hand, while playing for the Philadelphia Phillies, late in 2008 as a result of a line drive which ended his season. The Phillies announced on September 9, 2009, that they would be releasing veteran pitcher Rodrigo López to make room on the roster for Tracy. The Phillies would win the World Series in 2008 and the National League pennant in 2009. Though Tracy was not an active member of the postseason roster in either season, he did accompany the club throughout the playoffs.
On August 5, 2010, it was announced that Tracy would be pulled from the IronPigs line up and benched to allow Matt Rizzotti to become the everyday first baseman after he was very successful for the Reading Phillies.[3] According to Matt Eddy of baseballamerica.com, Tracy became a free agent after the 2010 season ended.[4]
Tracy signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks on December 25, 2010, and was invited to 2011 Spring Training.[5]
