Welcome to another edition of the Daily Fix. For most of us, it is the last week of school, so baseball is finally front and center on most people’s mind. The NBA Finals will start on Thursday and the NHL finals are also in full swing. So, in a couple of weeks, baseball will be the only ticket in town. That means that Draftstreet will be focusing much of its attention on getting some people to play fantasy baseball. They should have some interesting specials for you to play and some bonuses for you to sign up. This is the time of year to sign up if you haven’t before.

Meanwhile, pitchers are approaching 80 innings and position players are starting to surpass the 200 plate appearance plateau. It is now when we start to see the early trends start to take hold and the pretenders go on their merry way. We could play lots of strategies, but identifying blue chippers (as we may call the all-star types) is usually a safe way to go. I’ll be playing a double challenge where a salary cap is used. They give you 100,000 to spend and I managed to sneak in right under it. There will be an alternative list of players to consider in cases of rain or sudden lineup changes. Draftstreet will allow you to change your lineup almost to game time.

I don’t make any promises on these second group of guys fitting into your salary cap. Fitting guys under is often a balancing act, so you may have to change two guys if you are looking to change just one. I tried to come up with options that fit the strategy that we are employing. As always, make sure you check the weather and the news a couple of hours before game time.
