Austin Riley Position Eligibility Issue
Austin Riley has started in 4 games since being called up, all of which have been starts in the OF. One more start in the OF should make him position eligible for the OF. It's showing he has 6 games "played" in the OF. Please correct this ASAP. Thank you
The way positional eligibility works is 5 starts or 10 games played. You can see this here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6766.html

K/9
Appreciate the advanced stats but it needs to include k/9 for pitchers please.
Hello Brian,
Thanks for providing your feedback!
The advanced stats are going to give you additional information that is not already available in a league. There is a scoring category for pitchers for Strikeouts per Nine Innings (K/9). If you are not seeing this stat, it is cause your league commissioner did not enable it as a scoring category if you are in a Private League.
If you want to just figure out a pitcher’s K/9, you can use the formula (Strikeouts/ Innings Pitched) * 9 = K/9.
Thanks,

Bring back the daily player ratings (1 to 5 stars) on the phone app. They have been there all season and suddenly they've vanished.
Bring back the daily player ratings (1 to 5 stars) on the phone app. They have been there all season and suddenly they've vanished. I found the star ratings very helpful when deciding what hitters/pitchers to stream.

Why is Austin Riley 3rd Base? He is an outfielder in the Majors? Please add OF to his position to make it fair.
Lets get Austin Riley OF designation
Hi Danny,
Thanks for providing your feedback!
A player’s position eligibility is determined based on information from the MLB roster and past performance. Austin Riley will not gain OF eligibility until he has met the requirements for that position. Learn more about position eligibility in Fantasy Baseball: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6766.html.

IMMEDIATE ACTIVATION OF ADD/DROP MOVES
When we drop and add a player before said players games have begun, they should be allowed to be inserted on the same day versus the next day as it stands presently.
Hello Randy,
Thanks for providing your feedback!
If you are not able to use a player you’ve added to your team roster on the same day, it sounds like your league uses the “Daily – Tomorrow” setting for roster transactions/lineup changes. This is the default setting for Pro/Public Leagues.
Commissioners in a Private League can use the setting “Daily – Today” which would allow you to insert a player the same day they were added. You can use https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6775.html to learn more about the different settings available in Yahoo Fantasy.
Thanks,

Please let us click on the names in pending transactions.
Please let us click on the players in pending transactions. e.g. when I set up a waiver claim or trade they appear on myTeam page. Currently I set up several waivers... and later you want to double check their stats but you have to go to the players tab for that. I'd love the regular click the name to open the player page plus the yellow square for updates. Football and hockey need this too. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you for your feedback. We will continue to review this going forward.

Thank you for your feedback. Player positions are determined based on info from the MLB roster and past performance. Once the player has gained eligibility, they won’t lose it even if they don’t make additional appearances in the season.
Provided in the link below is how we determine player position eligibility.

Adding yesterday's stats to Stats options
Is there a way we can see the stats for the previous day's pitchers and hitters in one spot? I don't see a current way to see how, for example, all of the previous day's pitchers did. Having this in one spot would make things so much easier. I'd add an option under "Players->Player List->under the Stats dropdown box, have an option for Current Season Stats - Yesterday.
Hi Keith,
Thanks for providing your feedback!
We will provide your suggestion to our Product Team. In the meantime if you click on “My Team” and go back to the previous day you will be able to see the stats for the players for that day. We understand this will not help with players in the player pool but you can click on their player card to see their stats from the previous day.
Thanks,

Handedness!!!!!
Please, please, please put an "R", "L", or "S" next to the players name on the player profile card! Why in god's name should I have to open a new window in order to see if a pitcher is a lefty or not?! Ridiculous!
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass this along to our product team for further review.

Can you allow ability to change background color to black/dark on Team page?
Just like the option for StatTracker? Because the bright white background makes it hard for some to see the detailed print while setting lineups. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the feedback. We will continue to review this and make changes if necessary.

7 day IL players should be available for placement in IL spots. And yes, you should already had "DL" spots listed as "IL" spots on your team pages.

Nelson Cruz - Utility or OF?
Nelson Cruz is listed as the right fielder for the Minnesota Twins. Consider changing his position on Yahoo Baseball from utility to OF.
The number of games a player completes determines player eligibility. For position eligibility it’s 5 starts or 10 total appearances in a position.

Why did Chavis gain 3B eligibility, but no OF eligibility yet for Senzel?
I thought a player needed 5 starts at a position to gain eligibility at that position? If this isn't the case, then why doesn't Senzel have OF eligibility yet? Chavis also has more time at 1B than 3rd, yet has no 1B eligibility, what is going on?
Upon review, Senzel has had 4 starts in that position. Players changing positions can affect how you manage your team. Their positions are determined based on info from the MLB roster and past performance. Once the player has gained eligibility, they won’t lose it even if they don’t make additional appearances in the season.
Player Position Eligibility:
Determine eligibility or rookie status
The number of games a player completes determines rookie status or player eligibility.Position eligibility – 5 starts or 10 total appearances in a position.
Pitcher eligibility – 3 starts to be a starter, or 5 relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.
Rookie status – less than 130 at-bats, 50 pitched innings, or 45 days on the active roster for a Major League club during the 25 player limit. -
Multiple watch lists
Hi,
I'd like to have multiple watch lists as I would like to label them according to my needs. I can imagine have a list for "Prospects" another one for "weekly wire watch", another for "trade objects", "SP", "RP" and so on.
After a while my watch list is very long and I even don't know the initial intention to add a guy anymore :-/
As other people suggested, I assume it would also be fine to have those watch lists be synced all over the different leagues I'm participating.
Thanks and best regards
Thank you for your feedback, we love hearing from our members and appreciate you for taking the time to send us your ideas! We will have our product team look into this further.

Once Yordan Alvarez is officially called up, added to the active 25 man roster, and plays a game he will be added.
