I was one of them.

Seems like the only people who call it horseshit strategy are the ones who can't pull it off...

Streaming is part of H2H...H2H with capped transactions is Roto, plain and simple.

Roto is geared towards a great, balanced draft with educated waiver wire moves...capping H2H is rotoissifying H2H...so my advice to you is...stop bitching about streaming in H2H and start playing Roto...

Or get into a league that doesn't allow ANY waiver wire moves...those are fun leagues.

I would LOVE to play in a fantasy baseball league, ANY scoring system, against you so I could whip the living shit out of you...fantasy baseball is the one fantasy sport that is geared more towards skill and knowledge rather than luck (FFL).
Football isn't luck. I've taken 4 in a row in my keeper league, and I'm certainly NOT a lucky guy - just draft better than everyone in the league. There's a strategy to it all, that being that if you're gonna spend that pick on Brady, you get his backup.

It sounds like "streaming" is basically the same as jockeying your D/ST on a weekly basis, based on matchups - which I have no problem with.

But I think baseball is different, it's a 162-game every single fuck*ing day environment.....streaming in that arena, to me, is just a ridiculous amount of work...some of us need something outside fantasy sports in our lives....and it makes a good portion of the draft completely worthless. I'm inexperienced, but I'd certainly vote against it.
