Scott Proctor

Energized by the death of northern dictator Sung Jung Il, Korea has signed the great Yankee Eater of Innings and Master of Demon Fire, Scott Proctor. We will never again see Commander Scott pile his mitt, uniform and personal toiletries at home plate, douse them with lighter fluid, and turn the pile into a toxic inferno of black smoke, chasing the base hit fairies that had been haunting him. It seems like yesterday that he was pitching Tampa past Boston and into the post-season. It seems like...Read Full Story

Scott Proctor finally found a place where Joe Torre couldn’t abuse him. Proctor has reportedly signed a contract to play with Korean baseball team the Doosan Bears, officially ending his second stint with the Yankees, according to Dan Kurtz of MyKBO . I’m still not sure why, but the Yankees picked Proctor up off the scrap heap after the Braves released him last summer. He made eight appearances, throwing 11 innings with a 9.00 ERA. He actually had decent velocity on his fastball last...Read Full Story

Yesterday the news leaked that the Yankees were calling up top prospect Jesus Montero , but he isn’t the only one added to the roster now that they have expanded to 40-men. They also plan on adding former Yankee Scott Proctor , third baseman Brandon Laird , and outfielder Chris Dickerson , according to Mark Feinsand of the NY Daily News . That means that the Yankees are going to need to add both Montero and Proctor to the 40-man roster. Laird and Dickerson are already on it. That very well...Read Full Story

Now that Joe Torre doesn't have to rely on Scott Proctor's arm every six innings on both coasts, he can speak freely about the sturdy reliever's injuries. And what does he say ? He's a dumb-ass for pitching so much. "There's playing hurt, and then there's playing stupid," Torre said. Awesome.Read Full Story

He will report to Triple-A Scranton on Monday or Tuesday. Proctor was released by the Braves earlier this week, mostly because he was terrible. His 6.04 FIP was so bad that he racked up 0.8 wins below replacement level in 29.1 IP with Atlanta. Check out these peripherals: 5.52 K/9, 5.83 BB/9, 1.53 HR/9, 28.4% ground balls. He hasn’t been effective since the Yankees traded him away in 2007, mostly due to Torre-induced injury. Anyway, Proctor is going to Triple-A and will report there...Read Full Story

And I am not talking about the minor leagues. According to Mark Feinsand of the Daily News , former Yankee reliever Scott Proctor, who is currently on the Marlins’ DL after Tommy John surgery, has given up drinking and is attending AA meetings in order to change his life on, and hopefully off, the field. “Doing that made me who I am in the game right now,” Proctor said. “I wouldn’t have went running around and drinking off the field as much as I did. … I look back and think, what could...Read Full Story
