NEW YORK -- The March 14 issue of ESPN The Magazine is on sale today

COVER STORY:

Go-For Guys. Every day he puts on a Mets uniform, Carlos Beltran finds out what it's like to play in New York's spotlight. Can he bring home the pennant? Well, maybe not to the Mets. But he's on top of The Magazine's list of can't-miss prospects for your fantasy team.

THIS JUST IN:

Ken Caminiti was the first player to admit using steroids. Now Padres GM, Kevin Towers, once Caminiti's boss is the first person in baseball management to stand up and acknowledge that he said nothing about steroids for years because of box-office success. The Magazine's Buster Olney reports.

FANTASY BASEBALL PREVIEW:

Full Pitcher. Even with Ben Sheets as their ace, the Brewers will probably not win a title this year. But pick him for your team, and you just might. The Magazine's Buster Olney reports.

Rank and File. From A-Rod to K-Rod, a list of the best and worst to chew on come draft day. And hey, Alex, how about picking up those RBIs? ESPN.com's Erik Karabell reports.

Before They Were Next. The Founding Fathers (and one mother) of Rotisserie baseball were in a league of their own. The Magazine's Steve Wulf reports.

OTHER FEATURES:

Shadow Boxer. Ex-convict Joey Torres always thought he could stay one step ahead, in and out of the ring. Then he moved up to a whole new class. The Magazine's Shaun Assael reports.

Red Bull. Second-year PG Kirk Hinrich combines Harry Potter looks with a Dirty Harry style of play. That combo has the Bulls thinking playoffs again. The Magazine's Jerry Bembry reports.

Mr. Clean. Arizona's Salim Stoudamire has spent his whole life searching for perfection. He'll settle for an NCAA championship - and Lute Olson's approval. The Magazine's contributor John Gustafson reports.
