Problem With Batting Avg Calculations in My League
We have 3 teams tied with .255 batting average. All 3 have different H/AB, but all 3 were given 4 pts for BA in the standings. The BAs aren't calculated out past the 3rd decimal place like they used to be. Oddly, there are 2 teams with .247 batting avg, and those ARE calculated past the 3rd decimal. Please fix!

Display Plate Appearances in OBP leagues
In matchups, Yahoo displays the H/AB stat along with the individual match up stats. However, for leagues that use OBP instead of AVG, the H/AB stat is useless. In OBP leagues one needs to know how many Plate Appearances ones players have had, to contextualize the number. I suggest either replacing the H/AB stat with Plate Appearances, or adding it alongside it.
I have seen numerous requests for this, from twitter (https://twitter.com/IanMyers/status/1111697924151488512) to reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/b6oad9/derivingobponyahoo/)
Please make this stat available, thank you.

Show the Starting Pitchers already
The season starts in three days. Do you just show one day in advance? I want to set my lineup for a week.

Update player photos already
Yahoo, you need to get on the ball with replacing the headshots of guys who have changed teams. Goldschmidt is still a Diamondback, Puig is still a Dodger, Brantley is still an Indian, Bauers is still a Ray, Encarnacion is still an Indian, and Hand is even still a fricken Padre for Godsake…..and those are just the guys on my one team!

Change the DL spot to the IL to align with MLB
Since MLB has officially changed the disabled list to the injured list, will Yahoo be changing the designation to "IL"?

League Draft Board to display on a big screen while drafting on your device.
When we have a group of guys come over to draft, I'd love to put a league draft board on the big screen while each of us have our own devices to make our draft picks.
I think it'll help create a better community environment while drafting (and also my 9-year-old son won't be mouth-breathing into my ear while looking over my shoulder while I draft).

Please add a feature to export team rosters and transactions.
I am the commissioner of a auction keeper league and I have to copy and paste the daily transactions throughout the year (weekly or daily depending on how often I want to do it). It would be much nicer to be able to just export all of the transactions once at the end of the year. Also, I have to copy and paste each team roster into a spreadsheet and it needs major editing to be usable. I would love a feature to just export a team roster and download it to a spreadsheet. Most other fantasy sites have this…

Let us re-sort the pre-draft rankings without having to create an entirely new list
Currently, if you don't like the default pre-draft rankings, you have to basically create an entirely new list in your preferred order by clicking the arrows to add players to the "Preferred" list.
Why not just allow us to drag-and-drop names from the default list? If I don't want Scherzer at #1 (I mean, seriously Yahoo!?) and a handful of other players, usually pitchers, in weird spots, I shouldn't have to create a whole new list of nearly 300 players.
Just let me drag Scherzer down to a more reasonable spot and continue to use the default list as is.

New Pitching Stat Quality Appearance
I suggest adding a Quality Appearance (QA) stat for pitchers. Fantrax has this stat, and in a nutshell, the stat rewards a pitcher one point every time they reach 2 innings while keeping a 4.50 ERA intact through their appearance. It gives long relievers a chance at earning some value and solves the issue of a dominant 5.2 IP start not resulting in a QS. At least now that 5.2 IP pitcher earns 2 QA points. It also rewards a pitcher who goes deeper into the game – an 8IP start that has an era 4.50 or under gets 4…

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!

Please allow Commish to pause the draft more than 5 times or 15 mins. How about full control?
ESPN let’s be the Commish pause the draft and start it back up anytime they want. I suggest Yahoo do the same as there is no valid reason to have limited pauses. Unforeseen can things happen and having a simple pause and unpause button would be great. Thanks.

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…
