Hey, remember Erubiel Durazo? After Kevin Youkilis, Durazo is the player that Beane always coveted. So what did it take to bring him to Oakland and what happened to him after he left the green and gold?

From Jayson Stark of ESPN in 2002: "...calling this a "trade" might not be the correct term. In reality, A's GM Billy Beane didn't trade for Durazo. He stalked him."
