IL or DTD Players being moved
Players on IL or out DTD who are not playing should be able to be moved out of lineups if team is playing. SP's who are not pitching should be able to be moved as well.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your feedback.
We will pass along your feedback to our product team.
Currently, once a player's listed game time has been reached, the player will lock into the lineup whether they are starting or not on that day. Managers will have to swap the player out of their starting lineup before they lock in leagues using Daily - Today or Daily - Tomorrow. Leagues using a weekly setting won't be able to make any changes until lineups unlock on their selected weekly day.
Thanks,

How come Byron Buxton is just an utility guy when he plays OF also? Thank you!

Hi Ryan,
Players changing positions can affect how you manage your team. Their positions are determined based on info from the MLB roster and past performance. Once the player has gained eligibility, they won't lose it even if they don't make additional appearances in the season.
Determine position eligibility
The number of games a player completes determines position eligibility.
- Position eligibility – 5 starts or 10 total appearances in a position.
- Pitcher eligibility – 3 starts to be a starter, or 5 relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.
Use the position eligibility countdown
The number under each position shows how many games remain until the player is eligible for that position. If an "E" appears in the column, they're already eligible to play.
- Under the "Players" tab, click Position Eligibility.
- Type the player's name into the available field.
- Click Search.

Don't start the "transactions per week" count until spring training ends.
A lot happens in the last week of spring training. Those final roster moves before the season starts (for real) should not count against the first week of your transaction limits in H2H leagues or full-season transaction limits in roto. Having any games that count happen before the spring training has ended for all the teams shouldn't change that.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We'll pass this along to our team.

IL moves should be free, and not count to the maximum moves per week.
IL moves should be free, and not count to the maximum moves per week. I play in a 20 team league with 25 player spots. 3 IL spots, 3 moves per week. (Which cuts down on have much streaming can be done.) 8 of the 9 moves for the first 3 weeks are to just replace hurt players going on the IL15. I can't even field a full team of unhurt players. Ridiculous!

Use a more modern Calendar Control?
The current Calendar Control only lets you pick one of three days before the date you're on or three days after the date you're on - can we just replace it with a traditional calendar control so that we can pick any date we want? And also have a way to jump back to the current date.
This would remove a ton of extra clicking when you want to go back to a game at the beginning of the season or something.

No Bench if No Bench
If a league has allocated 0 bench slots to managers, managers should not be able to move players to the bench. This could be an option that is turned on in Commissioner Tools so if not relevant for all leagues it can be turned on/off.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll pass that along to our product team.

Hi Harry,
We will pass along your feedback to our product team.
After adding a non-active roster position they will NOT be able to be removed without resetting the draft. Be certain you would like to add one of these positions before you finalize the change!
For active positions to be added you'll need to contact Yahoo through the sports tab at help.yahoo.com with the following info:
I'd like to have [enter roster position] to total [number] for league# [enter League ID#].
Edit or remove roster positions while keeping draft results
- From Yahoo Fantasy, mouseover Fantasy | select a sport.
- Select the league you want to edit.
- Copy the results of your draft to a text file.
- Reset your league’s draft.
- Click Edit Roster Positions.
- After you edit your Roster Position, click Change Draft Type.
- Change draft type to an Offline Draft.
- Manually enter the results…

SP loopholes in the H2H categories daily lineup format
There are loopholes in the fantasy baseball format that could be easily fixed with some basic settings options.
- Set positional limits for season. This option already exists for the draft. Set limits for the number of players that can be carried on the roster + bench for each roster position
- Maximum innings pitched per team per week. This option already exists for minimum innings. Also, the ability to set a min/max amount of starts made by starting pitchers per team per week.
Additional options that would help close loopholes.
- Ability to lock pitcher lineups weekly while keeping hitter lineups…Thanks for your suggestion. I will pass this along to our product team.

Why do you not have injury information on many injured players! i.e. Wyatt Lanford, you have listed as "na". BS: He has made the starting
You don't give injury or eligibility on all players! i.e. Wyatt Langford has made the starting lineup, but you have him listed as "na" or "minor league"! You have "dtd" on Devin Williams, while CBS notes that his injury will have him out until June 14th! Your lack of proper status can really hurt lineup decisions!!
Hi Dennis,
Players must be listed on the official MLB Injury Report and placed on the IL by their respective team to get the IL tag.
Once the teams begin making official transactions and have an official roster, our data provider will receive the updates to update the designation which will then update in our game.

Weekly Lineups and IL players
Home league is in 21st year. H2H, mixed, 12 team, 5 x 5.
The most frustrating part for me each season is that players go on IL after you've set your lineup. I believe that if a player gets placed on the IL that we should be able to move that player out of the lineup and insert a player from our bench. In any sport a coach can replace an injured player. The MLB teams always wait and see with players injuries, wanting to see if they respond to treatment or feel better tomorrow, or if Monday is a…Hello Randy,
