How can we make Fantasy Baseball better?

Add bats Left or Right Info to matchup ratings

I like using matchup ratings to set my lineup. However, one glaring and missing item is what side of the plate do my hitters hit from. Sometimes the best decision on who I should start comes down to left/right matchups. But while the matchup ratings tells me if a pitcher is LHP or RHP, the hitters do not. Can you add that so we don't have to click over and load a profile page for the batter to see if he bats left or right to get the right matchups? It could be easily added under the player's name in the matchup ratings or to the play info card. Thank you.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE just put an R, L, or S next to each batters name in their respective pop-up boxes. I asked the same thing last season. For the love of God, why in the **** do we have to open a new page in order to find out if a player bats righty or lefty? Just ridiculous. ESPN crushes Yahoo on ease of finding info and searching for a player.

    I agree. Your pop-up blurbs on hitters also don't have Left, Right or Switch listed. You have to have a second screen open to some other site to check on this simplest of information or memorize all hitters in baseball since the same problem occurs when looking at players in the free agent pool.

    Stats on players for matchup eval
    Let us know which way they bat and throw for pitchers .......

    Yep having to click from "opponent" and then back to vs Left or vs Right to see that players stats vs that handed pitcher for every single decision makes it difficult.

    Would be great if you could add a new column for this ....or just add it to the Matchup screen because I think a hitter's record vs that handed pitcher is WAY more telling than vs that individual pitcher. who he could have face in a bazillion scenarios.

    Yahoo! is targeting the end of April. If they don't make it, they numbers show up when they show up.

    This is definitely an "easy win" for you guys to include in the rosters view. Please add it ASAP!

    Dear Yahoo,
    I wish you would make the match-up ratings available. I would think that with the same problems occurring last year that you would have fixed the issue. I enjoyed the information and it was useful. Please fix the problem or remove the link. Thanks.

    Please provide a response to this Yahoo.....I have been asking for this for years now.

    Why can you guys not improve the matchup page?!? It is just a giant white screen that is hard to read anything. Please add some sort of line or separation from the starters and bench! It would really provide what the matchup pages needs and would improve it greatly! This simple change is so obvious its ridiculous.
