Proctor signs
Scott Proctor agreed on a one-year, $1.115 million contract this morning, avoiding arbitration. The figure they settled on was exactly the halfway point between the numbers the two sides exchanged on Friday, when Proctor filed at $1.3 million and the club filed at $930,000. Proctor more than doubled his 2007 salary of $445,923. That leaves Joe Beimel, for the second year in a row, as the Dodgers' only pending arbitration case. He filed at $2.15 million, the club at $1.7 million. Beimel's agent, Joe Sroba, said Friday that he has to be prepared to go to a hearing just as he did on Beimel's behalf last winter. But if Beimel settles at the midpoint, he'll get $1.925 million. That's still a raise of more than $1 million from last year's $912,500, so it's hard to imagine this will get to a hearing.
