Today it was announced that Chad Tracy will be retained on the 25 man roster, at the expense of Sam Fuld, Kevin Millar, and Micah Hoffpauir. It's really no secret though that the decision came down to Tracy and Millar.

Let's break this down "don't want to do too much research" style:

Millar Pros: good 'chemistry' guy; can play 1B and corner OF positions; routinely played 130 games until he accepted a backup role with the Jays last year; title winner; greater OBP than Tracy; never really seems to get injured

Tracy Pros: can play 1B and 3B; younger than Millar; could lead the team in DL visits (wait, that should be a con)

Millar Cons: declining numbers (but still as good if not better than Tracy's dating back three seasons)

Tracy Cons: cannot play OF, handcuffing the bench further as Nady cannot yet play the field; technically younger, but has persistent injuries, including oblique and knee; has not played 100 games since 2006; red goatee

Maybe Hendry let Millar go because there's a job waiting for him with the Rangers. Perhaps they're not comfortable with Fontenot or Baker as a 3B backup if A-Ram goes down again. I honestly don't know, I was simply pulling for Millar. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments on who you would have liked to have made the final cut.
