Garciaparra vs. James

ESPN.com

Name: Nomar Garciaparra
Age: 26
Who is he? Shortstop for the Boston Red Sox

Why is he on the list?
In his first three seasons in the big leagues, he's hit .306, .323 and .357, with the latter mark winning the AL batting title. Oh, and he hits home runs and plays slick D.

Name: Edgerrin James
Age: 21
Who is he? Running back for the Indianapolis Colts

Why is he on the list?
Drafted ahead of Heisman winner Ricky Williams, James has shown that the Colts made the right pick. He may be the NFL MVP in 1999 -- as a rookie. And having Peyton Manning will mean plenty of big holes in the future.
