If you're playing for next year, it makes good sense to trade some of the players who are likely to be moved by their major league clubs by the deadline. If you're in contention for this year, be careful of who you acquire, as there's nothing worse than swinging a deal for a player who can be a difference maker, only to see him go to the "other" league shortly thereafter. www.baseballhq.com /free/free030704.shtml   (833 words)

Ford is an unfortunate blow to a player who was making a big impact as a rookie. www.directvsports.org /Editorial/NBA/Features/20041022_BEAST_EAST/Page3.htm   (657 words)
