Proctor On Joining The Dodgers

From the Press-Enterprise -

Scott Proctor was greeted by former minor league teammate Jason Repko in the clubhouse on Tuesday. The reliever, acquired from the Yankees the previous day, rejoined the Dodgers for the first time since they traded him in a deal for Robin Ventura in 2003.

"It's a world-class ballclub with a lot of history," said Proctor, whose experience in pitching for a big-market team impressed General Manager Ned Colletti.

From the LA Times -

"I'm excited," said Proctor, traded from the second-place Yankees to the then division-leading Dodgers just before the trade deadline Tuesday. "Any time you get a chance to be on a first-place team, that's exciting. Hopefully I can pick up some key situations and get [some] big outs."

Proctor, a 30-year-old right-hander, wore No. 43 in New York but never asked for that number -- which belongs to injured reliever Yhency Brazoban -- with the Dodgers.

"It's just a number," said Proctor, who will wear No. 45. "I'm just hoping to fit in anyway I can. And whatever I'm asked to do, do it the best I can."

Proctor seems fine about the trade and is saying all the right things. Good for him - and classy too.

Yhency Brazoban - another Yankee farmhand traded to the Dodgers. I believe he was part of the Kevin Brown deal.
