for Guthrie when you were offering Chris Young. Sigh.)<o:p></o:p></p>

Kerbs, for the 1.3 innings that Jason Vargas contributed to my team. Grrrrr ...)<o:p></o:p></p>

Sanchez. (Doug - I do recognize that you traded Chris Davis to me in 2014, and he did end up having a pretty nice season. :) )<o:p></o:p></p>
