So we realize you guys decided to make Ohtani 2 separate players. Many people are obviously upset about this (myself included). I understand that either choice will ruffle some feathers, so why not make a commissioner option to treat Ohtani as 1 or 2 players?

Commissioner Option 1: Treat him as 2 separate players, both take up a roster spot, etc. the way you guys said it would be this year.

Commissioner Option 2: Have him in the system as 2 players but he would act as 1 player. For example, under this option, pitcher Ohtani and hitter Ohtani only take up 1 total roster spot (maybe have the pitcher take up 1, hitter doesn't take up a roster spot), however both still move as 1 player (any trade must involved both, both go on DL at the same time, both dropped/added/drafted together).

Of course option 2 can be manually put in place by the commissioner, but this would require either Ohtani taking up 2 roster spots or the commissioner gives the team with Ohtani an extra roster and DL spot. However, this would need to be constantly monitored by the commissioner to ensure the spots are being used only for Ohtani. Also trades would make this option very complicated.

Overall, I think most agree the best Ohtani option is to keep him as 1, however this is a possible workaround that will give the users what they want (an option for 1 Ohtani) that may be easier from a coding and development standpoint.

Not a vicious complaint at all but there are obvious inconsistencies in which players are available from year to year. Why not set a new standard?

A great one would be players from the first two rounds of the MLB draft, the top 30 international signings and then whomever is left from the more or less industry consensus of a top 100 prospect list. Roughly estimated 150-200 specific players.

Sure it would not include every prospect out there but it would greatly improve the current system and be easier for yahoo to manage.

Even better it would set a specific expectation from yahoo sports enthusiasts and reduce complaints stemming from the current irregularities. Every offseason before fantasy starts they could just update these specific players to the previous seasons pool.

I am commissioner of a keeper league. Yahoo listed the keeper deadline as 12:00 AM Sunday. This is very ambiguous. I thought that meant either Sunday noon or Sunday night at midnight. None of us ever dreamed that that meant midnight SATURDAY night!

So, as a result of this confusion, one team owner didn't get their keeper choices in. As commissioner, it looks like I will be able to manually choose his keepers, but I shouldn't have to do that.

In the future, just don't use 12:00 as a deadline for anything ever. There is no clear consensus whether 12 am means midnight or noon. Instead, be like they do with airline and train schedules and list departure times at 12:01 or 11:59 to remove the ambiguity.

I would like to make a suggestion. I think Yahoo should not allow a Team Owner in Fantasy Baseball Pro Leagues, to have more than two Closer RPs on a team at one time. There are just enough for each team to have two on their team, and if one is not performing well or gets hurt, there is no more available as FA, since some owners have 3-4 RPs that are closers on their team. The ones that show as SP/RPs are SPs and do not close. This is crippling me, since both of my Closers have not been good, and my one Closer Rodney has been terrible. I also told my League is a Daily Lineup League and according to your rules, I should be able to pick up a player on a particular day (ex Sunday), and be able to put the added player in their Active Lineup the next day, before his game starts that day, especially if they have more than two SPs who are pitching the same day, especially to help them get more starts in the week, if they have more than two of their SPs starting in the same day, where they can only use two. I also do not like 12 Team Leagues, since you cannot get more of the All Star Players on your Team, and if you lose one of the couple or few you have to injury, especially if it is your only true Ace, you are severely handicapped for the rest of the year, and it is more fun and your able to compete better, when you have more All Star caliber players on your team.
