Scott Proctor gets a new gig

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:39:38 -0500

Talking Chop reports the Braves have signed Scott Proctor. You remember Scott Proctor, or maybe you don't, the Marlins signed him and he never pitched a game for the Fish. Proctor ended up playing for Dr. Andrews team for all of the 2009 season when he underwent Tommy John surgery. Naturally we wish him the best, except when he plays against the Marlins, and hopefully the Atlanta job will workout for him. But to be honest, given the abuse his arm suffered under...

Scott Proctor admitted to alcoholism, and is trying to stay sober: Proctor, 32, is a recovering alcoholic, he says now, and he has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for more than a month.

Proctor cleans up elbow & lifestyle

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:17:00 -0500

Scott Proctor never learned how to say no. He never said no to his manager when he was asked to take the ball. He also never said no when someone asked him to get a few drinks after the game.

You know those obstructed views in the bleachers that I've spoken about a few times? Well it turns out that fans who sit there won't have to pay the regular $12 price tag. Instead, those seats will sell for just $5. Here's more from Neil Best (Hat tip to Scott Proctor's Arm): Yankees COO Lonn ...

This is Not The Kind of New Stadium Update I Like Posting

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:54:54 -0500

According to the AP a construction worker was hurt today while working at the new Yankee Stadium when he fell from some scaffolding. The worker fell about 12 feet and was hospitalized and is in stable condition. Hopefully he will make a swift recover. And here's a suggestion to the Yankees ...

The Miami Herald is reporting that the Marlins and Scott Proctor have come to terms on a one year deal worth about 750,000 dollars.

Proctor Really Was Hurt; Falkenborg Gets Called Up

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:24:51 -0500

I sorta expected something like this, but I was suprised at how long it took for him to admit it. Proctor only told the Dodgers that he was hurting after it was announced that he was being optioned to AAA. "The Dodgers announced on Wednesday that reliever Scott Proctor had been optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. Then they announced he had been placed on the disabled list with a sore elbow. Proctor said he he's been pitching hurt 'for a month, a month and a half,' in ...

If Scott Proctor Were A Horse, He Would Be Put Down

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:36:57 -0500

I've expressed my displeasure with Proctor in the past, but this is just ridiculous. I can only assume that he's hurt after all these years of Joe Torre riding his arm like it was Seabiscuit, because he's seriously never been this terrible over the past 2 years. So far in June, he's allowed 12...

For Yankees, today is about getting rid of Farnsworth

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:45:00 -0500

The clock is ticking toward today's 4 p.m. major league baseball trade deadline, and as I write this Eric Gagne is still a Texas Ranger, and Scott Proctor and Kyle Farnsworth are still New York Yankees. Most reports have the Yankees, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox all still competing to try and pry Gagne away from the Rangers. As a Yankee fan, I care less about acquiring Gagne than finding somebody, anybody to take Farnsworth-less off the Yankees hands.
