The Yankees were in discussions on Monday with the Dodgers about a trade of righthander Scott Proctor for infielder Wilson Betemit. A major-league source indicated that a deal was 50-50. Proctor has carried a heavy workload the past two seasons, leading American League pitchers in appearances in 2006 and ranking in the top five this year. Betemit, 25, can play third base, shortstop and second base. Although he is hitting only .231 in 156 at-bats, he has 10 homers and high on-base and slugging percentages.
