Wait... if not Contreras, then it must be Jeff Weaver... who, once he left New York, turned things around and is now about the best guy the Dodgers have. He's also a Fresno State alum.

Xanadu is correct for #2. #5 is still not answered, but some good guesses, you've got to think of where they could've acquired this guy from... #6 is not Hollywood, either.

That leaves these questions remaining:

5. What pitcher was sent down to the minors a month after he was acquired by the NY Yankees for twelve million dollars?
