Summary

Today we're talking in-season management but first we have ANOTHER MLB proposal (1:12). This latest proposal has teams playing in just three divisions and from their own ballparks. Rejoice Rockies owners! ... We're also taking a deeper look at a breakout candidate in Jesus Luzardo (8:30). What's all the hype about? Where does he rank among other popular breakouts? ... In-season management is potentially more important than draft day, starting with the waiver wire (17:17). Should you play with FAAB? How aggressive should you be early in the season? ... Another topic for in-season management includes how to handle prospects (30:00). Should you be stashing them? Also, how do you know when to drop a player early in the season? ... Another important aspect of Fantasy Baseball is streaming hitters and pitchers (40:30). Are two-start pitchers dead? How do you find hitters to stream? ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
