Allow user to change player slot during the Draft. 1B/OF. Owner should choose where he is.
Allow user to change player slot during the draft. If a player has multiple position eligibility such as 1B/OF, the owner should choose where he is put in your team during the draft. That way I can draft around what I've picked, not where yahoo sticks them on my team.

Extend Team Name from 20 to 25 characters
Hello,
I am the co-commissioner of Major League Fantasy Baseball. We here at the MLFB, appreciate the flexibility provided to us courtesy of Yahoo! Sports, and have been doing so since our inaugural season of 2009. We hold our league in the highest of standards, emulating the most personal and real-life experience for our owners and managers alike. It has come to our attention, that a team would like to relocate from Washington to Philadelphia, however this transaction cannot be completed, due to the inability to exceed 20 characters for a team name, and the "Philadelphia Phillies" protrudes that limit.…

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…

Dynasty team with a minor league of players
With more dynasty leagues get created with a farm team, I suggest you allow the commish to Lock the farm players so they don't get picked up by other teams. When a manager wants to pick up a farm hand, the commish can either unlock the player or simply add him to the managers roster. This would prevent a lot of headaches.

Add CP (Closing Pitcher) spot
In points league, often times the RP spot is just used by a starter that has both SP and RP designation and inflates the scoring for the week. I want to be able to use solely closing pitchers in a spot.

Wildcard in custom list
Why can't we put a Wildcard position abbreviation (e.g. SS or 1B, LF, OF, ...) in our preferred ranking list to mean give me the highest ranking Player at that position at that time. That way we can control the order in which positions are filled.

Make clear how you determine rookie position eligibility
Most other fantasy platforms define how they determine rookie position eligibility. For example NFBC determines eligibility by greatest # of plate appearances at position their final minor year. Yahoo! simply guesses based on what position they were drafted at and then defers to MLB player page. MLB player pages are updated by an intern at their convenience, not even by the individual team. Please, an actual policy on how you determine eligibility would be much appreciated. Yahoo! is the most lenient platform when it comes to granting eligibility and yet Nick Senzel is only 3B eligible for who knows what…

Fix the Live Draft Software or Get Rid of It
Incredibly disappointed in Yahoo's auction draft software. Managers ran a little late. Paused the draft for 15 minutes to allow them to arrive. Come to find out that you cannot pause the draft again. FOR 5+ HOURS. This rendered the draft completely useless. Everyone is ready to jump platforms after this mess.

Historical league matchup stats
I like the way matchup stats are displayed for current year (in a h2h, roto league). But I can't find anywhere to access the historical statistics. Itd be nice to see how many HRs it took to place first, or SBs, Ws, etc...

More in depth ADP data
Additional data regarding ADP would be really useful. Things like minimum pick, maximum pick, number of drafts each player has been taken in, and being able to select a date range to view this data. These can be really useful during draft prep.

Please bring back the 10 man on demand draft and shorten the **** pick time...
It seems the big thing now is to let every ******* second tick off the clock when a draft is conducted now. It takes 3 ******* hours to do a 12 man draft. UTTER ********

Increase the qualifying innings pitched for each team from 7 to 20. Just 7 innings per week per team is way to small.
We all have about 4-5 (SP)pitchers on each team - they can all pitch at least 5 innings - increase the number of innings per week for each team from 7 to whatever,,,, (take the average SP innings per week, and use that number going forward to use instead of 7)

Allow to pick up an "N/A" free agent player and assign him to N/A roster spot
We should be able to pick up an N/A player and assign him directly to a N/A roster position spot. It sucks that you have to drop a player to make a spot for the N/A player, then move the N/A player to the N/A roster spot, then pick up a different player than the original. You shouldn't have to miss out on a current player to stash away an N/A player.

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.

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.

In head to head points league its nice to be able to limit starts at 10. So anything over ten stats stop counting. Its a feature espn has.
In points head to head league, pichers can help get you a lot of points. It would be great to limit the starts to what you wanted. We are able to limit pick ups, but a team could load up on starters and we want to keep it at ten. Its a feature allowed on other platforms.

Keepers
Stop making me go on a computer to select keepers for the season. You should be able to do everything from the mobile app. This applies to all sports
