Scott Proctor lives

While Joe Torre and Scott Proctor will no longer be joined together in bullpen bliss, the former Yankee has latched on with another team. He has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Marlins worth up to $1 million. I, like Torre, always had a soft spot for Proctor. Hopefully, he can overcome his elbow troubles and have a good year in Miami.

Scott Proctor come back to the Yankees! I was so upset when we traded him for Betemit. Rightfully so. I suppose we got the better end of the deal?

yes, we did.

Proctor was worthless last year and predictably got injured.

Betemit wasn’t great off the bench, but he was a main piece in the Swisher trade.

I would have given proctor 1 mil this year to pitch with us. I used to love him. If he really does suck then just send down (if possible), trade or designate for assignment. If he can return to what he was before Torre destroyed him than he would be great.

The only year Proctor pitched well for the Yanks was the season he threw all the innings.

  If you click on the link it tries to take you to a page in b-ref that says “At least before Torre destroys your arm for good”
