If you need inherited runners to score, there’s no better guy coming out of the ‘pen than good old Scott Proctor. Or at least that’s how it seemed for his Yankee tenure. Good to see it’s still happening in LA!

Poor Scott, if only he was in the pen for those 2005 White Sox then he could have gotten some rest

Poor Scott Proctor, I’ve got nothing but sympathy for the guy. He must have slept with Torre’s daughter or something.
