PPD games prove we need IL+ in Fantasy Baseball
If a player has Covid, they can be put on the IL. If the rest of the players on their team can't play because the game is PPD, there's nothing a manager can do. They have to suck it up and run with a shorthanded roster.
We're already seeing PPDs messing with opening week. Stars like deGrom, Alonso, Soto, Turner, and more are forced to sit on the bench through no fault of their own.
If baseball had IL+, a manager could slide the PPD players over and pick someone up until their main guys are ready to play again.

Adding Salary Cost next to player names
For Salary Cap leagues Yahoo should add the player cost from the Salary Cap draft next to the players name, in the 'My Team' area and 'Players' area. There should also be an option to keep that cost next to the player all year, even if dropped, or remove the cost when the player is dropped.
Would add so much more value to the Yahoo Salary Cap leagues.
169th rankedThank you for this feedback. We’re looking into this for future seasons.

Can't see custom keeper salaries when choosing keepers
In the past, our league's custom keeper costs would be displayed when people are choosing their keepers and I can't imagine why that is not the case now. Instead it only shows Yahoo's projected value. I emailed and Yahoo responded saying they thought that would be more helpful, but I don't understand how seeing the projected value is relevant without also being able to see a players actual cost to keep in your specific league so you can compare.
478th rankedThanks for bringing this up to us. Our engineering team is currently working through issues with keeper salaries and the general keeper flow. We hope to have this updated soon but can’t commit to an exact time frame.

I want the option to shorten the head to head season
We’re coming from ESPN where they have a 14 week minimum. I want the option to shorten the head to head season so our fantasy football players can be done by August 1. Right now the longer yahoo season may be a deal breaker and we’ll play ESPN again.

Semi-Weekly Hitters, Weekly Pitchers
IL issues are widespread and well-known. Weekly lineups don’t mesh with that. Daily lineups are too time-consuming. Looking for a site (we want to stay with Yahoo!) that will make running a league functional. The old-fashion options don’t work anymore.
Here’s the suggestions: Give an option for hitting and pitching to be managed separately in both Roto and H2H leagues. Give an option to have hitting be Daily, Weekly, or Mon-Thurs/Fri-Sun. And the same, but separately, for pitching. Therefore the league Hitting can be Semi-Weekly (Mon-Thurs/Fri-Sun) and the league’s Pitching can be Weekly. Or Semi-Weekly. Or Daily. Give the league…

Bolder line for the matchup week ending line
When the opponents option is selected...it would be nice to have a BOLDER line for where the end of the week is.

Fix stat tracker. It's gone to ****. Fix your player updates. They are outdated and missing information. Fix your matchups.
Stattracker is broken. Box scores make the page go blank. Information is wrong, showing plays from different games, not updating, or old. Stats are wrong, showing incorrect information, have to reload multiple times.
Player updates are pathetic. I have Scherzer. He is scheduled to pitch today. The last update says he is on the IL and going to throw a bullpen session from SATURDAY. Other sites have information saying he will come off IL and pitch. You asshats cost me a start because I can't start him today.
Your matchup info is ***. Broken, showing html code. Showing incorrect and…

Fox he performance ratings
I'd like to know how Performance rating (Lineup Analysis --> Performance rating) is calculated, since I've never been able to trust it.
For example, how can a player (Alex Wood) have A's and A+s for Last 7 Days, Last 14 Days, Last 30 Days, and Season, yet have a D+ for Overall? How can Did Gregorius, whose Last 7 Days is C, Last 14 Days is B+, Last 30 Days, is B, and Season is B have an A for overall?

Highlight player when at bat.
On the stat tracker, can you make the row turn another color when a player is at bat? I thought it used to turn yellow, but it doesnt now.

Add a ROSTER filter to league searches
I like that you search for custom leagues using filters by scoring type, draft date etc.
Have you considered adding a filter so managers can search by roster change format: daily/weekly? I'm looking only for leagues with a WEEKLY roster change format, but it is very tedious to click on each league to view the rules to see what the roster change rule is. It'd be easier to just be able to filter for all weekly roster leagues.
Perhaps there are even one or two other filters that would also be useful for league searching? Thanks !691st ranked -
Offer Start Active Players in Separate Icons for Hitting, and then Pitching
Unfortunately, the Start Active Players function is useless in Baseball because it often removes relievers from scoring positions that necessitate going back and redoing the line up for each day defeating the purpose of the function, and potentially causing errors.

List SPs on lineup change page
A huge part of fantasy is knowing which pitcher batters are facing. Just put that days opposing starter next to the game time or opponent. Every other major site does it.

Biweekly Lineup Changes (Mon-Thurs, Fri-Sun)
Especially with the shortened season, Yahoo Fantasy Baseball should offer a biweekly lineup change option, like some sites already do. Daily changes is too much for our league. But our usual weekly lineup changes is too infrequent, especially in a shortened season. Teams often place players on the IL with little advance warning on Monday after lineups lock, and that turns into an empty week. That would be mitigated with biweekly lineup changes. We may like that new set up that it would be a fixture in future years too.

Add the accent above the ‘e’ to Jose Altuve’s first name?
I know it sounds trivial, but a Spanish player in my league admires Jose Altuve, and he’s devalued him because he feels insulted the accent mark is not there. He’s made his case by pointing out that Jose Berrios, Jose Abreu and others all have the accent mark on their ‘e’s, but for some reason Jose Altuve does not. Please make this one minor change if possible.
691st rankedThanks for bringing this up to us. Our engineers are working on reflecting correct accuracy for accent marks in the game.

Not a suggestion, but there's no support link. I finished 3rd last year, winning the 3rd place game, but I'm listed as 4th now.
I placed 3rd last year, but my history shows I came in 4th. In the 3rd place game, the other player is crossed out, with fewer points than my team, but I am ranked as 4th. Can you correct this?
708th rankedHi James,
Thanks for your feedback.
We have reached out to our engineering team to investigate this for you and get it resolved as soon as possible.

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.
