Did anybody see Proctor clean up Tanyon Sturtze's mess today vs. the Rangers? He came into the game in the 7th inning with the bases loaded and no outs and got out of it giving up just 1 run and striking out Texiera with runners on 2nd and 3rd. This guy has been excellent for the Yankees this season.
I dunno about that but he certainly can and will fill the role that Sturtze/Quantrill have filled over the last 2 seasons. 7th inning and situational long relief. I have finally given up on the Tanman by the way. He really did pitch well last season until innings caught up with him and I thought that he could be great in our bullpen this season with Proctor, Farnsworth and Villone taking pressure off of him so he didn't have to pitch so much. It seems almost like those additions have had a negative effect though--he's always either trying to get too fancy or trying to blow hitters away with a 90 MPH fastball to show that he still deserves playing time. If Dotel can come back healthy at any point this season than Sturtze will be off the team.
