Week 2 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week.

The Corner Store is open. The season has officially begun and managers are already ravaging through the waiver wire for various reasons.

The Closer Carousel Turns (Already?) - How to Approach Boxberger, Kela, Strickland

We already knew that the closer position was the most volatile in baseball, but this is getting ridiculous. Three would-be closers have been displaced days before the season even starts, one by injury and two by manager decision. In 5x5 roto leagues, owning one of these volatile assets is a necessary evil. Throwing out FAAB... Read More

Week 1 Waiver Wire - Catchers

The regular season is just beginning and people are already likely sitting at home, staring at their computer screens mumbling, "Tore his MCL? Carrying a suitcase?
