Marlins Release Scott Proctor, Dave Davidson
The Marlins released pitchers Scott Proctor and Dave Davidson, according to Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Proctor, 33 in January, was non-tendered by the Dodgers in December of last year. He agreed to a $750K deal with the Marlins in January, but was not able to return from flexor tendon surgery as expected. In May, he decided to undergo Tommy John surgery. Proctor's best year was 2006, when he posted a 3.52 ERA in 102.3 relief innings for the Yankees.
Davidson, 26 in April, was claimed off waivers from the Pirates in April but designated for assignment by the Fish in May. The southpaw worked only 10.6 innings for the Marlins' Triple A club. A June waiver claim of Davidson by Baltmore was voided due to a shoulder injury. Davidson found his way to the big league 60-day DL, earning a few extra bucks in the process. Poor guy earned it - Fredi Gonzalez had him throw 52 pitches in his lone big league inning.

Can anyone believe that Gonzalez was on the hot seat after the season the Marlins had? Rifts tore apart Girardi and FLA... will that happen with Gonzo? Hire Mike Hargrove so he can just quit.

Joe is not that bad, or at least overflow only use space wise for Dusty Baker, who truly has -0- clue how to operate a pitching staff, yet teams still hire him as a manager. His is MLB's #1 PR manager to hire and fire..
Fish actually ended up with a decent BP, grabbing many off of the scrap heap over the course of the season.
Hope they can convince "The Donkey" to return on the cheap, he was brilliant in setup role the last couple months and finally looks to be back from his TJ surgery 2 years ago.

I thought Proctor was signed on a one year deal, what was the point of him being released? Was he still under team control?

Proctor was arb-eligible, so they may have wanted to cut him now rather than in mid-Dec. Or maybe they'll want the roster spot in Nov. for whatever, that's why the Padres released Cliff Floyd.

Thanks Tim, I knew there had to be some logical reason, I just didn't know exactly. I thought it was rather odd seeing players getting cut at this point in the year.
