| Paul
Sauberer joins us for his forth season as a Fantistics writer. Paul is a diehard
fantasy baseball fan with political aspirations. Paul's earliest baseball memories are of
the expansion Senators in the 1960s and his father buying him an entire box of 1969 Topps
baseball cards. The Senators are no longer and the cards are definitely no longer in mint
condition, but Paul's love of baseball continues. He transferred allegiance to the Orioles
after the Senators left town and enjoyed the glorious times of the Birds in the 1970s.
During that time, he also discovered table top baseball games (before
"Rotisserie" meant anything outside of something to do with food) and that has
led to decades of crunching numbers and following major league performances. Paul
reacquainted himself with the Senators, now the Texas Rangers, while going to college in
Texas and remains a Rangers' fan today, even after living on Long Island for
14 years with
his wife and two children. Paul knows his baseball! |

Jeff Ackerman's devotion to baseball dates back to his formative
years, when the Phillies were still led by Schmidt and Carlton. He has
been involved in fantasy baseball as far back as 1988, when his
inaugural team included such luminaries as Ron Darling and Doug Drabek.
Since then, Jeff has taken to dominating his annual league with a deft
mixture of art and science. He is a firm believer that the right
combination of knowledge and statistics is a powerful recipe for
success. For the couple of hours a week that his fantasy sports
obsession does not have him completely enslaved, Jeff can be found
listening to the Ramones at volumes painful to most human beings (and
all small mammals). Jeff lives in beautiful Mont Clare, PA (birthplace
of the Sundance Kid), on the banks of the Schuylkill River with his
wife. |

Schuyler Dombroske:
has
been a Yankees fan since the early '80's, and has absolutely no remorse
about the Boss spending money since he believes, that in no way guarantees
any type of success by itself. Schuyler has been playing some form of
fantasy baseball since 1987, switching from play-by-mail PTP board leagues
to roto-style ball in around 1993. Schuyler still plays Diamond Mind (sort
of 2nd generation PTP), roto, Diamond Kings, and STATS Diamond Legends on a
reasonably consistent basis, and also writes for Top Prospect Alert.
Schuyler lives in Syracuse, NY with his wife, Kristin, son Griffin (3), and
daughter Kendall (1). Schuyler is a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch
since 1995.

Victor Lee: As an opportunity
to try to show off to friends about his knowledge of football and
baseball, Victor entered fantasy leagues more than 10 years ago, only to
learn that it takes more than box scores to win. After his first
year and his only last place finish, Victor has participated in them all
(16 owner football leagues, hockey, basketball and baseball with protectable rosters, contracts and farm systems). Victor works as
a Business Development Manager for a Marketing and Media company in
Boston, MA. His love for football extends onto the playing field
as a wide receiver for a semi professional team in the Eastern Football
League. When he's not scanning the football wire, Victor can be
seen hosting a cooking show on his local cable station. |

Joe joined Fantistics for his rookie season in 2004. He has a BBA in
Finance and Business Economics from the University of Notre Dame. When
he’s not in his office at ESPN in Bristol Connecticut glued to the live
game feeds, he’s at Yankee Stadium cheering on the Bronx Bombers.

He’ll challenge anyone at anytime to baseball trivia and has an uncanny
ability to know news about every player before it hits the wires. |

Mike Lynch has been a diehard Red Sox fan since he was
old enough to know
better and still can't believe the Sox actually won a World Series in
his lifetime. He doesn't play much fantasy baseball only because he's
too busy
writing a book about the 1919 Chicago Black Sox and running an
historical
computer simulation league called Diamond Kings Baseball. Mike has
won two
Connie Mack Awards, given to the best front office executive in each
league,
but still doesn't own a championship ring. Although he doesn't have
any
college degrees in mathematics or statistics, he's been a fan of Bill
James
since the early 80's and likes to dabble in sabermetrics for fun.
Mike is
also a member of SABR.

Guide" featuring bios on over 100 players, draft strategies, and in-depth info on

Jasbir
Singh entered his first fantasy football contest in 1991, and
has been addicted to them since. He has earned over $13,000 in fantasy
prize winnings. Jasbir has a Bachelors Degree in Economics and
currently works in management. Ever since he saw Joe Montana scramble
to his right and heave the touchdown pass to Dwight Clark (known in
folklore as "The Catch"), he has been the most devoted 49ers fan
on the planet. This
devotion has led Jasbir to believe he was born with crimson and gold in
his blood. Jasbir attributes his fantasy success to his nonstop reading
of anything remotely related to football. There are no stats, NFL team
newspapers, magazines or websites that escape his analysis. Applying
common sense with this researched material thus makes for logical
fantasy football decisions. He guesses this is why all of his
advice-seeking friends have jammed his phone line prior to the start of
the last 12 seasons. Jasbir analyzes every angle in the beautiful San
Francisco Bay Area with his wife of three years.
