Meet Fantasy Baseball Challenge contestant Stan Zelepsky

Age: 51.

City: Erie.

Occupation: Engineer/Business Consultant.

Favorite sports moment: Roberto Clemente’s last and 3,000th hit.

Favorite fantasy sports moment: Winning any Fantasy BB League (especially the Erie Times).

How you rate your team: Good …  early underachievers, but that’s OK.

What would you change from your draft: Not much …  amazingly 12 of my first 13 picks are still with the team — and I just recently gave up on Cory Hart. One can’t ask for much better than that.

Are there any fantasy baseball strategies that you follow: Beginning months before the draft I put together a spreadsheet from %&%#. I rank all players based on projections for the year.

Favorite fantasy baseball player (all-time) and why: Probably Johan Santana. Why? Love not having to fear at least one SP’s start every rotation.

Best darkhorse draft pick ever (including the round): Can’t think of one. Personally, I’m better with waiver wire pickups–early, like Ryan Ludwick last year.

Sleeper player for this year: Rick Porcello has caught my eye. Lucky I was able to pick him up before someone else.

Most overrated player this year: Based on performance thus far, I’d have to say Garrett Atkins. However, heard he warmed up late last year for respectability.
