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.

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.
42nd rankedThanks for all your feedback, James. These are features we will look into adding in the offseason.

Keeper leagues, be able to view all transactions on one page and allow export to Excel
even modifying the URL from the number to all
My league players who were picked up as FA count for a different salary than those drafted, If i could export all the FA pickups then my formula could look at those, then the draft results, to calculate keeper costs. Right now I cannot so it is a manual process.78th ranked -
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.

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…

Message/Chat Board Needs to Feel Like Social Media Site
The Message Board has become a waste of space because it's not easily accessible, readable or usable. Posts and comments should be easily scrollable, mobile friendly, and look and feel like Facebook/Instagram/Twitter. Get rid of "topics" and duplicate what the most popular social media sites in the world do to encourage messaging, chatting, and communicating!

Carry "notes to self" over to the next year.
I guess i can always go back and copy, but in a keeper league it is much easier just to have them still be there.

Player Pool
Please add more prospects to the player pool. Keeper leagues often have very deep leagues and having more prospects available would be very beneficial. Players like Wander Franco SS TB is not available, and he is a top 50 prospect.

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.

message board
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…

Allow Commissioners to designate keepers all season
I'm in the 10th year of my dynasty league. I would like to be able to manually designate players as Keepers throughout the season. Other managers will then be able to see the K next to a keeper to avoid confusion when adding or trading for players. Currently I have to manually maintain a list which is very time consuming.
Quick example... Managers pick their keepers pre-draft, those players have the "K". We hold draft, all newly drafted players (all keepers by my leagues rules) don't receive K. Mass confusion all season and offseason.
Thank you!

"Closer" and "Middle Relief"
I'd like to see an option in private leagues where a reliever can be designated as a "Closer" (or "Closer Relief", "C" or "CR) and a "Middle Reliever" ("MR") as a position.

Change your story editor
I don't know who writes the notes that show up when you click the notes box next to the players name but they are very often wrong, for example Mike Clevinger had 12 strikeouts in stats but the notes say he had a career high 11?

Please get updated info to users faster
I see updates on key pitchers from MLB news feeds that are not picked up by your service in time to be of use. This also having an impact on your Matchup ratings. For instance, Joe Musgrove start was moved and Trevor Williams pitched for Pirates on Sunday March 31st, but your Matchup with Reds starters still referenced Musgrove. In addition, the update on Musgrove noted he would be available "out of the bullpen" on Sunday. I see errors re: Matchups at least once or twice each week and this can have an impact on Fantasy lineups.

Dynasty Enhancements
Can we please enhance the dynasty options within Yahoo?
I do dynasty options in both baseball and football. Football is based off of salary where as baseball is based on draft picks. I understand that every league is different but my request is rather easy.
I would love if Yahoo would make it easier in the transition from one year to the next. If I look at my 2019 roster on the app, it's blank. I get it, we haven't drafted yet. But until that draft occurs, it would be helpful if the rosters weren't blank and if trading were…

More DL spots in Private Leagues
We need more DL spots in Private Leagues. You updated the NA spots to 10 but left the DL spots at just 5. For keeper Leagues we regularly have more than 5 players on the DL at one time.
Please up it to 10.Thanks!

Changing the League page Theme would be nice. Yahoo has the same BORING,DULL theme for year. I suggest to add multi colors and pictures.
Yahoo needs to get more creative and step up their game when it comes to their Fantasy Baseball League page(s). Its the same boring look, every year...(White screen everywhere). Yahoo Mail has theme options, why can't we have the same? It would be great if we could be able to customize our own page with colors, pictures OR favorite team theme.
(CBSsports has some of these options).
2019 is coming and you guys look like you are stuck in the 90's !!!!

Pro League Draft Times
Earlier draft times for the Pro Leagues would be great. I remember in past years, there were morning draft times available on the weekend. Evenings are better for some people, but for some 8pm draft start times and later are really tough to do. It would be great to see some morning or early afternoon options on the weekend.
