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 option (Fantrax and CBS do for sure).

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 QA points. We think this solves most of the concerns with SP in today’s MLB vs. fantasy landscape. A note on IP – we’ve used IP in addition to QS over the past few years but IP as a category leads to SP hoarding and Sunday waiver streaming.

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. As a co-commissioner, I am saddened by this news, and I have made it my duty to ensure I can provide the most to my managers. That is why I am asking for your support in order to extend the Team Name character limit, from 20 to 25 characters, effective immediately. If you require more information about our league, feel free to view the high-quality posts and information on our Instagram page @mlfb2019. I thank you for your time, as it is greatly appreciated.

Yours truly,

JMT

Co-commissioner, MLFB
Owner/General Manager, Washington Nationals

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 available.

Having to work trades in the offseason through text messages and then bouncing back between which rounds I have picks in 2019, where I drafted players last season in 2018 and where each player I want to trade for was drafted is a huge pain **********. If I could just go to a website to figure this out and offer the trade, it would be a lot more efficient than agreeing to a trade via text, going into the message boards to post the trade once its agreed upon and where draft picks are including, needing to worry about our commissioner going in and getting the trades correct prior to the draft, it's a hassle that's really not needed.

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 reason. I realize he will gain OF eligibility after 5 games but he should have 2B also since that is where he actually played last year. He didnt get an MLB at bat which would have overruled any minors at bats.
