Joe Torre
The heavy usage of Scott Proctor early in his career has drawn criticism of the way then Yankee manager Joe Torre used relievers. Proctor appeared in 83 games in both 2006 and 2007, 3rd and 5th most amongst all MLB pitchers respectively. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says he told Proctor to give an "honest answer" to manager Joe Torre when he asked if Proctor was ready to pitch again.
