Answer: No

It was Chris Resop, who is no longer a part of the Anaheim Angels. Kevin Gregg had an amazing year with a 3.54 ERA, 32 saves and 87 strikeouts in 84 innings.

Answer: Engle Beltre

Eric Gagne was absolutely terrible for the Boston Red Sox. Gabbard was doing very good with the Rangers-Red Sox, and David Murphy hit everything in sight in Texas.

5. In January of 2007, the New York Yankees traded Randy Johnson to the Arizona Diamondbacks. In return, the Yankees got Luis Vizcaino, Ross Ohlendorf, Alberto Gonzalez, and whom?

Answer: Steven Jackson

Randy Johnson had a terific year before back problems took him out for the year. He went 4-3 with a 3.81 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 57 innings. Luis Vizcaino helped the Yankees bullpen, and Ohlendorf played only a few innings.

Answer: Yes

Answer: Drew Butera
