Allow player swap once a game is PPD
Once a game is PPD, if there are bench players available that can be swapped due to start times being later, this should absolutely be implemented. Feels like a large miss and something that could be easily changed.

S. Ohtani
Since S. Ohtani is split into 2 different players, the batter and the pitcher, Ohtani the pitcher should still have DL eligibility! It is known he will not pitch for several more weeks and not being able to keep Ohtani (the pitcher) in the DL spot on rosters is not fair to owners. Anyone who owns him is forced to either drop him or have him take up a roster spot when he is not going to pitch. Please do the right thing and make this correction.

Need to add maximum IP or limit starts per week in H2H points leagues
Need allow commish to add a MAXIMUM innings pitched or set number of starts per week.
It's too easy to win when you can stream starting pitchers in a points league (we do have a 5 transaction limit, but still need an innings max).

Pre-draft rankings
Please add a search feature in the pre-draft rankings. Having to scroll thru names either by alphabetical order or rank order is pretty annoying and adding a search feature seems like an easy fix.

End fantasy baseball playoffs earlier
Everyone in my league checks out as soon as football starts. Give the commish the option to end the playoffs some time in August. I'm guessing a lot of fantasy baseball people feel this way.

Keep league open all year
Keep the leagues open all year. Yes, close for 2-3 days for maintenance but otherwise, allow leagues to draft, add players, look at stats, etc for the whole year.
67th rankedThanks for all your feedback, James. These are features we will look into adding in the offseason.

7day, 14day, 30day for Team Stats
Allow us to see our total team stats the same way we do with individual players with the 7-day, 14-day, 30-day, season option. This way we can track how our teams are performing week by week.

How about give leagues a choice on Ohtani
How about give leagues a choice on Ohtani
Why not have 3 Ohtani's in the Yahoo Universe and allow individual leagues decide how they wish to deal with him?Ohtani (Util & SP)
Ohtani (Util)
Ohtani (SP)Individual leagues can decide whether there are two or one in their league. If leagues what one unified player then they can set their own rules that the other two can't be rostered. If for some reason leagues like having two separate Ohtani's they can make the unified one off limits on rosters.
This seems something Yahoo can do now without disrupting leagues…

Allow players to be benched or inserted during double header
Nothing infuriates me more than when a player has a double header and I lose a FULL DAY of production at the plate from a PINCH HITTING appearance. It's 2018, Yahoo. We've put up with this nonsense for too long. Fix it so I can either bench the player if he's not in the starting lineup after the 1st game or insert them for the 2nd game if they didn't play the first.

Give the option of having a two-week Championship!
The league commissioner should be able to customize (or at least choose from more options) when the fantasy playoffs begins/ends. Having a two-week championship is an option that every member of our league supports, but we are unable to implement.

Expanded Commish Ohtani/Future 2-Way Player Options
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…

Mock Draft Problem
Every time I try to load my pre-draft player rankings into a mock draft (rather than "Yahoo Recommended") it comes up with the error message "You are not in this league. (Error #150)" and the draft starts with the Yahoo defaults. I have not had this happen in previous years.

2 Week Playoff Matchups with Adjustable Schedule
I would love to see Yahoo allow for 2 week playoff matchups and an adjustable schedule that allows you to end regular season whenever you want. These options are currently available on ESPN. After doing our fantasy baseball on Yahoo since 2006, we switched over to ESPN this season because our managers simply prefer 2 week playoff matchups and how it rewards a "true" winner.
Especially in a sport like baseball that entails so much randomness, a 1 week matchup at any given time is almost a "crapshoot". Also, allowing for an adjustable schedule would also be a great feature…

Will Yahoo Address Ohtani Problem?
I cannot seem to find anything where Yahoo addresses the Ohtani problem of having two separate players. I have found complaints from July of 2018 and since seen others in January and February comment on them. But nothing from Yahoo recognizing their decision to split Ohtani into two players hasn't worked out as hoped.
There should clearly be an option for leagues to have One Ohtani (UTIL & SP). That way if and when he goes on the DL he only takes up one DL spot. Also if he doesn't pitch or hit he still has value.
Has Yahoo responded…

Add More NA spots
NA spots are currently capped at 10. I'd like to see the maximum raised to 15 or 20 to allow keeper/dynasty leagues to have more in-depth minor league possibilities. Yahoo has done a good job of expanding the player pool, but when you can only roster 10 NA, it caps these newly added players usage.

Pre-draft Rankings
Allow pre-draft rankings to be sorted by xrank in addition to default rankings. It makes no sense that this is not an option. In addition, add a search bar so that you can search for a player instead of having to scroll up and down constantly. The interface on the pre-rank page is barbaric.

Allow Free Agent NA's to be directly added to NA spots
Just like you've done with the DL spots, NAs should be able to be added directly from FA pool to NA spots. This has been an issues for years and very frustrating to have to drop a player first to do this. Also, NAs should be able to be traded directly from NA spot to NA spot. This is a nightmare for keeper and dynasty leagues who use NAs for minor league players.
