standings, and the World Champion White Sox have been issued a
challenge by the surging Detroit Tigers, who enjoyed an amazing

Key Returnees - A Look at a Few Players Who Could Lead Their Teams to Prominence by Jay Nault |
|
|
Every year, selected teams tend to have their seasons at least
partially ruined due to unforeseen injuries. A widely-held
league belief is that a team generally has one or two big-time
playmakers, and if one of these central pieces is lost because of
injury, that team is in big trouble. Below you'll find a few of
the players attempting to come back from an injury, and what
potential impact a successful return could mean for their teams. |

Divisional Outlook - NL West by Jay Nault |
|
|
Despite being widely ripped as the worst division in baseball in
2005, one facet of the division last year on which everyone
agreed was the competitiveness, as nearly every team had a chance
to win the division late in the season. Once again, no one is
out of it in this division in 2006, as every team sits within
three games of the others as of this writing. |

NFL Training Camp - Is It Too Long? by Jay Nault |
|
|
The demands on NFL teams have grown exponentially over the past
couple of decades. It wasn't too long ago that many NFL
players, even starters, felt the need to get or hold a
"regular" job during the offseason, and used the time spent in
training camp to get into playing shape for the regular season.
It also used to be that teams played up to six preseason games as
opposed to the current four or maybe five exhibitions. |
