So if you stream, you're most likely going to get your shit pushed in in K/9 and losses, and because you are using lower quality pitchers, one or two bad starts will cause a spike in WHIP and/or ERA.
Plus, there is a 25 IP minimum.
Streaming is the fantasy equivalent of cheezing in Madden.

Meh.
I've played Fantasy Baseball for over a decade...I prefer Roto but streaming isn't cheezing, it's strategy.
I've been in west coast leagues where I couldn't stay up until 2 or 3 AM every morning so I'd stream two days in advance...
I only play in leagues that are competitive...so yeah, maybe it's cheezing in a public yahoo league...but a pay league...if you sign up for H2H and there is no limit for transactions, you're throwing your money away if you don't stream.
As for the guy earlier who said something about dominating ERA/WHIP/Saves...the point of streaming is to load up on enough closers to ensure that you'll win the Saves category 90% of the time...
Anyways...I'd strongly suggest any casual or first time player to play in Roto leagues...H2H is a lot of work...
