By Steven Orbuch | August 3, 2004

Don't expect the A-Rod effect to play out in Boston. Unlike the Texas Rangers, who significantly improved when they dealt their superstar shortstop, the Red Sox traded away their shot at post-season success when the team sent away all-star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs for Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera.

Counterpoint: Maddux bests the rest as a model of consistency

By Steven Orbuch | July 29, 2004

For almost 20 years, Greg Maddux has been one of greatest ballplayers, period. Since he is a pitcher, Maddux only plays once every four or five games, so he cannot change his team's fortune on a day-to-day basis, but when his day comes, you know what to expect: a quality start. Our generation has seen plenty of Hall of Fame caliber pitchers -- Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez to name a few -- but Maddux's consistency is what makes him the best of our time: Last year, Maddux became the first ballplayer to win 15 games in 16 consective season. From 1992 to 1998, Maddux had seven consecutive seasons with an ERA below 2.75 -- an amazing accomplishment in the home run era. Maddux consistently surrenders the fewest walks among Major League starters.

By Stephen Macekura | July 22, 2004

With the trade of Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers are officially Kobe's team. However, although Kobe and the Lakers' organization suggest the restructuring will greatly benefit the franchise, the loss of Shaq coupled with improvements by other Western Conference teams will cause the Lakers to miss the playoffs. In return for Shaq, the Lakers acquired a future first-round pick and forwards Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Grant.
