The best thing is just to have an active commish who will lock douchebags who pull off that horseshit strategy.

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). |

I have consistently crushed a few guys in a H2H league (with no move limits) that I play in by loading up on relievers myself. The streamers tend to go with more "value" closers than true studs like Nathan, I guess since they figure they're punting ERA and WHIP anyway, so I am still able to dominate them in saves (having 2-3 setup guys on your roster usually nets you a vulture save or two a week, too) I've won the pitching categories 3-2 in the playoffs against oweners who stream each of the past two seasons (and won those categories at an 80 percent clip during the season). The strategy is an effective counter in invididual matchups and over the course of the season. And I don't think imparting roster limits is "rotofying" H2H. It is increasing the difficulty of the league and the importance of making good moves each time.

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. |

****ing please. It takes far more skill to draft a team than it does to sit there like a ****ing loser every night grabbing the weekend starters.

****, I played in a 14 team H2H $ league the last two years that was 7x7, and you don't see me bashing other guy's leagues because of it. What a pathetic douchebag you are.

You also don't have to "stream" to win. If you draft a balanced team, streaming is unnecessary unless you are just trying to scrounge a few categories on Sunday.

If you want to end streaming, then have a max amount of transactions per week. Until then though, no one really has room to bitch. Also, it's not like streaming is some huge advantage. I tried to stream last year in my championship and still lost. It's not arbitrage; it's a strategy, plain and simple. |
