Streaming pitcher problem in Yahoo Fantasy

[Fantasy Sports Genie]

So I actively dislike streaming myself, but I'm a little confused here. The whole reason we added the max weekly adds was to combat streaming. It sounds like you are using that, with a setting of 4. Is that right? As someone who dislikes streaming, I'd have trouble viewing 4 adds a week as streaming, even if they all were spot starts. But if you/your league does, you could set it at 3, I guess. Or 2. But at that point you're pretty close to just having weekly lineups. Unless the goal is that you want to allow 4 weekly adds, but not with the intent to stream. But once you start disallowing roster moves based on the intent of the manager, that's pretty hard for us to enforce.

For the record, I also am pretty avidly against changing rules in the middle of the season. In my keeper league, I pretty much won't do such a thing unless there is unanimous support.

Funny answers to this. Everyone is making it too hard.

1. You can't change rules during the season, no matter how much you or anyone hates that these streaming owners out-smarted you in how to build their team in the draft. They planned to stream because your rules allowed it and thus put less emphasis on picking top SPs in the draft. That's your fault, not theirs.

2. Next year, put an Innings Pitched limit in your league. I'm commish of 2 CBS leagues where we have 9 active pitchers, daily transactions, and an IP yearly limit of 1,700. Some streaming occurs, but has limits to it because of the IP max.

3. Steaming doesn't always help owners. Many times I see it hurt an owner in Whip and ERA. Yes it might help in Ks and Ws, but there's a trade-off there.
