Quick hit: Lots of people stream pitchers in daily moves leagues, or pick up 2 start sp's in weekly leagues. In this post, I want to advocate streaming hitters early in a shallow to medium league. In leagues with bench spots and a deep free agent pool, it is often advantages in the early season to bench your top players on their off days and add in decent replacement players. Ex/You have Ryan Howard as your 1B in a 10 teamer, but he has Monday off, so on Sunday night, you scoop up Adam LaRoche (who is playing on Monday) and drop the bottom player on your roster (someone who is likely easily replaceable through the free agent market), then bench Howard (on his off day) and throw LaRoche into your lineup to get 4 valuable AB's........
This strategy compounds itself very quickly, if you can add even 12 extra at bats a week, you can add a significant amount of numbers early in the season.
Every little edge helps....
