faba Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Report: Marlins to sign reliever Proctor Associated Press Updated: January 2, 2009, 3:18 PM ET Comment Email Print MIAMI -- Former Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Scott Proctor has reached an agreement with the Florida Marlins on a $750,000, one-year contract with an additional $250,000 in incentives, a person familiar with the negotiations confirmed Friday. The person didn't want to be identified because the deal is contingent on Proctor passing a physical Monday. Several South Florida media outlets were also reporting the deal on Friday. Proctor underwent surgery in October to repair a partially torn flexor tendon and is expected to be healthy for spring training. He missed two months of the 2008 season and was left off the Dodgers' postseason roster. The Marlins needed bullpen help after the departures this offseason of right-handers Kevin Gregg to the Chicago Cubs, Doug Waechter to Kansas City and Joe Nelson to Tampa Bay. Battling elbow trouble, Proctor went 2-0 with a 6.05 ERA in 38 2/3 innings last year. He has a career ERA of 4.42 in 262 games. Proctor turned 32 Friday. He was born in Stuart, Fla., and pitched for Florida State. Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It'll be good that he gets away from Joe Torre. Pitching in 100 games a season, and being brought up in the pen for the other 62 is certainly not good for the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
