The read
Stephan has been outscored over his career, 124.69 points per game against to 123.32 for, and his regular-season record is under .500. He also has four podium finishes, two silvers and two bronzes, more than any other ringless manager. His seasons keep ending better than they went. After four podiums, that reads as a skill. He works the phones for it: 27 trades over both eras, tied for third-most, 12 of them before the league reached Sleeper, and his 2020 auction board ranked first of twelve by value.
He is one of the league's three Giants fans, along with Kappy and Ryan. The trio has no championships in 22 combined seasons, and Stephan's podiums account for most of what the group has won. His 2025 covered his full range: an 11-game losing streak, tied for second-longest ever, then a 2-1 consolation run once it broke. An audit restored two postseason wins the sheet never gave him. What is missing is a regular season strong enough to hand him a real seed.
