What is streaming in fantasy baseball?
Streaming is a roster strategy that involves plugging in different players to your roster each week based on their short-term potential. Usually, most players who are streamed are not good enough to warrant a full-time roster spot. Instead, they're added by fantasy owners in search of production for only one or two weeks at a time.
For example, you may add a starting pitcher who has a good matchup or is scheduled for two starts in a week. Or you may add a position player who has favorable matchups or will be playing at a hitter-friendly ballpark like Coors Field in Colorado.
