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.

I think previous message board posts made by other users in all Yahoo Fantasy Sports Leagues should be viewable by all members. I noticed that from the seasons 2011 to 2017 I can not view the messages posted by other users. I do not know why this feature was changed but I think for league history purposes it should be made viewable once again, especially for commissioners. If Yahoo Fantasy Sports wants leagues to last for years members should be able to go back and see what other member wrote on the message board, particularly when Yahoo allows us to see all past draft results, final team rosters, and even every transaction that ever took place. Please vote for this feature to be reestablished. Thank you for your time.

I have been a Yahoo! user/fantasy participant since the year 2000. I play fantasy baseball, basketball, hockey, NCAA march madness, and football with you. I have never left yahoo! for any other fantasy sports site. I have a simple request of you and am very hopeful you are able to grant it asap, prior to the 2017 fantasy baseball season.

My long-standing head-to-head league is moving away from ERA/WHIP. We want to steer clear of ratio/percentage stat categories.

Therefore, I am asking that you add a new stat category for pitching which combines walks allowed and hits allowed.

On this Yahoo link (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6800.html), we see that you currently provide both HITS and WALKS as two individual stat categories for users to choose from. All of my league members and I are asking that you create one that combines the two; it can be called WALKS + HITS (regarding the TOTAL number of walks and hits a pitcher allows in his outing). We are aware of the WHIP category and that's not what we prefer to use. Again, we are trying to steer clear of a ratio/percentage and are hopeful to move forward to whole numbers...in this case a combination of two stats as one category.

Please consider implementing this for this upcoming fantasy baseball season. If this is indeed granted, it would return our league to a 5x5 category league which is what we are hopeful for. We are trying to avoid the ratios/percentages while also avoiding a total of 11 categories which is what we are currently at. If you are able to add this option for us, we can get it back to 5x5 while using the other 9 categories (along with the proposed total WALKS allowed + total HITS allowed) which we are proposing.

I am going to ask my league-mates to post in support of this and also ask the rest of the community/forum to help us by voting 3 votes and posting positive feedback for our proposal. We are really looking forward to having this as an option for this season.

Thanks, Yahoo!, for your time and consideration. This is really important to us. Much appreciated.

The option to lock eliminated teams in the playoffs doesn't work in cash leagues. It is pointless to give the commissioners of cash leagues the option to lock eliminated teams if it doesn't work. Please honor cash league commissioners request to lock eliminated teams from the playoffs.

Eliminated players participating in the consolation bracket should not be able to make waiver claims or add/drop players. The ONLY players who should be allowed to make waiver claims or add/drop players are the players who are still in contention to win the championship. That is, after all, WHY WE PLAY THE GAME! When a player is eliminated, then makes waiver claims or add/drop players ... it's at best, poor sportsmanship and at worst it's cheating and possible collusion.

Please give us the option to turn the consolation bracket off!
This will make the "lock eliminated teams" feature more effective (right now it's basically useless because it lets managers in the consolation playoffs continue to make waiver moves, which is not what most commissioners intend when they use this feature)

1. Not all initial posts and/or replies "stick." Once a comment does not post (Yahoo glitch), it is impossible to re-post it. Very frustrating and discouraging to all Yahoo participants.

2. First replies to an initial post do not "show" until page is refreshed and/or a thumb is clicked on. Also, when replies are opened (on an initial post), if a thumb is then clicked, the replies close. Probably not correct and should be fixed.

3. Reply threads are "upside down." You have to read them from the bottom up to follow the continuity in chronological order.

4. Duplicate "nicknames" and avatars must be prevented . . . largely to stop impostors from making a mockery of other legitimate posters and ruining the Yahoo "experience." Also, to distinguish the different identities of posters with the same name (i.e. There are dozens of "John"s and it can get confusing as to which one is talking). If there _are_ no two identical Email addresses worldwide, Yahoo can fix this problem.

5. The Fantasy and Gambling "stuff" should be put in its own separate section and removed from the _real_ sports information. (See #6 next.)

6. The original one-page sports format (with the comments section included and no gambling and fantasy stuff) should be restored. It is much more concise and simple/easy to use than the "new and (not) improved" version we have to suffer with now. Let the gamblers have their fun in their own section but please let the non-gambling sports fans enjoy their sports without being bombarded by the fantasy/gambling information.

7. When a link to another site is copied and pasted into a reply, it first shows in a box as it appears on the site, but . . . when "Reply" is clicked (an it posts), it omits the original first line of text that had appeared in the box.

8. The "mute" feature is permanent and cannot be reversed. Maybe an "unmute" option could be provided. Because of constant screen "jumping" . . . Mute can be hit by accident and can't be undone.

9. Posters should be prevented from giving their own posts a thumb up or down.

10. I would be nice if there were an "edit" option (to make corrections) for comments (shortly) after they are posted.

11. Flagging spammers doesn't seem to stop them. Does abuse flagging (for any reason) do any good?

I found this comment from yahoo last year when this subject was brought up. ...this is what they wrote.

We have added a column with the Opposing Pitcher in the My Team (Roster > Opponents) tab to provide insight into the matchup. Adding stats for a particular match-up is a tougher task, but we hope to add at some point this season.

Career batter vs pitcher stats have been added to players pages.

Thanks for your feedback and patience.

My comment is why take it down again? It was obviously a hot topic that many many wanted. You agreed, and added it back. Why not offer it again this season? Why mess with what the public wants???
