YAHOO...PLEASE bring back the career hitting stats vs. starting pitcher tool
I found this comment from yahoo last year when this subject was brought up. ...this is what they wrote.
We have added a column with the Opposing Pitcher in the My Team (Roster > Opponents) tab to provide insight into the matchup. Adding stats for a particular match-up is a tougher task, but we hope to add at some point this season.
Career batter vs pitcher stats have been added to players pages.
Thanks for your feedback and patience.

Allow Day to Day players be moved to a non roster spot
If a player is Day to Day the player should be able to be moved to a non roster spot so another player can be picked up to stay competitive that day. I should not be penalized because Yahoo is slow to move a day to day player to the DL that Yahoo has already reported was there. This player was also on the can't cut list so I was not able to do anything

Please bring back the ability to add pictures and GIFs in the message board! (image, images, pics)
That was literally the only reason my league still uses Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. The quality of the site is as sufficient as other sites, but where you guys really stood out was in the ability of the league to stay connected and banter with GIFs and Pics in the league message board. It really is not that difficult (I know that you know this), and as of right now I just code the image or gif in myself. The problem is that it is a hassle, and not everyone in my league knows how to do it. Please, please, please…

Edit Draft Order Tool
This is a great tool... but allow the Commish total control.
1) Changes should automatically upload to be "draft" ready. Changing the draft type or time should NOT change or reset previous "Draft" editing.
2) Allow the commish to "fill" a draft selection without using a player. In other words, 1 player can take up more than one draft selection. Why? to "create" more value, bc some managers are willing to pay more than 1 selection for a player. Commish can also use this tool to "penalize" managers that do things that "hold the league *******".
3) Allow the draft…

Allow players to be benched or inserted during double header
Nothing infuriates me more than when a player has a double header and I lose a FULL DAY of production at the plate from a PINCH HITTING appearance. It's 2018, Yahoo. We've put up with this nonsense for too long. Fix it so I can either bench the player if he's not in the starting lineup after the 1st game or insert them for the 2nd game if they didn't play the first.

Add Luis Robert to Player List
Please Add Luis Robert as Not Active player. He's been signed by the White Sox and hopefully will be added to the Fantasy game as well!

Allow DTD injuries to be DL-eligible!
A much needed feature in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball (and all sports, really) is the ability to add players to the DL/IR, whatever you want to call it, when they are nursing injuries of any kind. Out with food poisoning? Day to day with a strained hammy? Make the player DL-eligible. Fantrax has this and it's a great feature. I'm told that Yahoo even has a form of this with IR+ in hockey - but only hockey. Baseball needs it, too. Restricting the DL to just players that are on the DL list in real life is silly. Thanks!

2-week Playoff Matches
For all playoff matches, there should be an option for them to be 2-weeks long. This would ensure a game wasn't just a one-time win. ESPN has this option and it works very well.

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.
31st rankedThanks for all your feedback, James. These are features we will look into adding in the offseason.

Increase Maximum Roster Size to 50
There's a significant number of feature requests that would be resolved by allowing the maximum possible roster size to be 50 instead of 30. Allow commissioners to set this number and to determine the distribution of position types.
This would allow a commissioner to:
* Have 24 active positions, 6 BN (for leagues that want a Yahoo-traditional size roster).
* Have 13 active positions, 12 BN (for leagues that want a daily fantasy-sim type configuration with a 25 man roster, e.g. 8 position players, 1 SP, 4 RP)
* Have 25 active positions, 15 BN (for leagues wanting a 40-man…33rd ranked -

Increase team name characters
20 characters is not enough to enter a team name that you want. The 20 character limit includes spaces which only decreases the amount of characters you can actually input. Please increase the character limit when creating your team name. This is the most restrictive character limit I can remember on any fantasy sports site. Please correct!

Need to add maximum IP or limit starts per week in H2H points leagues
Need allow commish to add a MAXIMUM innings pitched or set number of starts per week.
It's too easy to win when you can stream starting pitchers in a points league (we do have a 5 transaction limit, but still need an innings max).

support full/real keeper functionality
Yahoo should start actually supporting keeper functionality, where you can track rosters, years kept, salaries, etc., and can set how many years players can be kept, salary bumps, etc. CBS has been doing this for about 10 years already so it's very achievable technologically.
Forcing commissioners to enter (and calculate) all keeper info by hand isn't actually supporting keeper leagues - what Yahoo calls "Keeper Leagues" is really "recurring leagues", in which nothing other than team names and league settings are saved.

Make the custom team pictures bigger! You can barely see them!
It's almost not worth it to find a creative custom image for your team, BECAUSE YOU CAN BARELY SEE THEM! ESPN's pictures are like 4 times bigger, making it worthwhile to find the perfect picture for your squad.

Change your position eligibility requirements
Your are currently the only fantasy baseball provider in the universe that has Anthony Rizzo 2B eligible in 2018. THE ONLY ONE. If that is not enough to demonstrate you have an issue, I don't know what does.
Please change your requirements similar to CBS and ESPN and require 20 "games played" at a respective offensive position. 5 "games started" is fine.

Can you create EDITABLE Commish Notes?
Would it be possible to make a Commish Note editable?
For instance, as commish, I keep track of SP adds per week using a Commisn Note on the league homepage each week. At the start of each week, I have to copy/cut my template, delete the completed week's info, and paste the template again (while deleting the previous week's info/adds) before creating the new note.Is it possible to allow us users to simply EDIT the commish note where we can just delete/add new info in it instead of going through the tedious process I mentioned earlier?
Thanks for considering…
