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! |

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.

Joe Ribando:
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’s a multi-sport fantasy veteran, but his true love is baseball.
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.

Tom Massimo joins Fanatics for the
2007 season. He has been a fantasy baseball addict since the early
90’s. Fantasy baseball and sabermetrics gives Tom a chance to put his
college finance degree and law degree to use. It is a good thing
because after going through three grueling years of law school, he
decided not to practice law, but instead go into the financial markets.
A lifelong New Yorker, Tom is a diehard Yankee fan, but can remain
objective. He even has Mets and Red Sox on his Fantasy Baseball Teams.
Tom’s other hobby is game shows and he has been a contestant on Jeopardy
and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. |

Mike Berman joins Fantistics for the 2008 season.
Mike has been an avid fantasy baseball player over the past decade and
is proud to be one of the last generation of kids to grow up playing
Strat-o-Matic with the cards and dice. Mike enjoys looking beyond
traditional baseball statistics to find the real worth of a player.
Mike has been lucky enough to be able to tie his love of baseball with
his passion for traveling. He has been fortunate enough to visit 21
major league ballparks and one day hopes to complete his quest of
visiting every park. Mike is a 2005 graduate of The George Washington
University in Washington, D.C. with a degree in sports management.
After a one year stint as a video scout with Baseball Info Solutions,
Mike returned home to Long Island and currently works in the New York
Mets ticket operations department.

Nick
Glenos has been ruling the fantasy football circuits since 1991. In 1993 he
started one of the first internet-based fantasy football leagues featuring full 53 man
rosters including individual defensive players, offensive lineman, and even punters (Nick
has finished in 1st for 5 consecutive years)! In 1995 he wrote his first fantasy football
publication, a pre-draft guideline "The Ultimate Internet Fantasy Football
Guide" featuring bios on over 100 players, draft strategies, and in-depth info on
various types of fantasy football leagues. What separates Nick from the rest of the pack
is his eye for talent and understanding the importance of strategy. |

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.

Ricky Dimon is making his debut as a
Fantistics analyst for the 2006 NFL season. His esteemed fantasy career
began when he was introduced to fantasy sports by his dad in the early
'90s. One of his earliest fantasy memories is when his dad returned
from a football draft and said he had taken Giants' RB Rodney Hampton
with the 3rd overall pick instead of Jerry Rice. Fortunately for the
health of their father-son relationship, that turned out to be a lie,
and Rice led the Dimon's fantasy team to a title. Ricky recently
completed a standout four-year intramural sports career at Davidson
College, where he also founded a rowdy student fan section that
energized the basketball team to a berth in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
Now living in Atlanta, Ricky has turned his attention to numerous
fantasy baseball and football leagues, as well as various sports-writing
endeavors, and he is also a full-time diehard supporter of Georgia Tech
basketball, the Braves, and the Falcons.
