Extend the Draft Timer up to five minutes
Hello, I would like you to consider extending the draft timer options past two minutes. I would like up to five. We have been drafting live for 20 years and have to move online this year. We take the league too seriously to risk auto picks after two minutes. We don't want to deal with reverting picks and other timer issues.
Hook up the pandemic draft timer options!

Eliminate keepers in predraft pick lists
Here is a simple request. Please eliminate all keeper players from each GM's available pre draft rankings. Right now, keepers are entered (manually) but when each GM goes to do their pre draft rankings, ALL the keeper players are listed in there still! So each GM has to manually select every keeper player(we have 200 keepers) and move them to the ignore side of the draft rankings. it is rediculous! They should be removed from any eligible predraft rankings lists. i have asked for this for about 3 years now. Please...would help every single keeper league.

Pre-draft rankings
Please add a search feature in the pre-draft rankings. Having to scroll thru names either by alphabetical order or rank order is pretty annoying and adding a search feature seems like an easy fix.

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.

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.

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.

Please bring back the 10 man on demand draft and shorten the **** pick time...
It seems the big thing now is to let every second tick off the clock when a draft is conducted now. It takes 3 hours to do a 12 man draft. UTTER ********

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).

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.

Random selection of Managers on Draft Day Fantasy Baseball Flawed
I signed up for two Yahoo Fantasy Public Baseball Leagues.
Here is the issue,
1) My first Yahoo Public Baseball league had seven, yes, seven mangers listed as "Diamond or Platinum. I thought this was strange given the chances of top 5 percentile managers assigned to one league.
2) My second public fantasy baseball league--Yep, there were a total of 6 managers ranked as "Diamond or Platinum--all of them ranked in the "Top 5 percentile of mangers."
Statistically this is not fair ! Not only for the six or seven managers participating that are ranked high...but what about the managers…605th ranked -

Fix the Live Draft Software or Get Rid of It
Incredibly disappointed in Yahoo's auction draft software. Managers ran a little late. Paused the draft for 15 minutes to allow them to arrive. Come to find out that you cannot pause the draft again. FOR 5+ HOURS. This rendered the draft completely useless. Everyone is ready to jump platforms after this mess.

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 a change to pre-rank settings to allow you to designate a position to be drafted in a specific round.
Allow the ability to select what position you want drafted in a particular round when you pre-rank players and have to auto-draft.

Allow player for future draft pick trades (without the balancing draft pick)
Let me set this up. Draft is 25 rounds. Most teams have 10 keepers, so most teams have 15 picks.
Next--- Team A trades Joe Outfielder to Team B for a future 6th round pick (next year's draft). Why does Yahoo require that Team A include a draft pick? I recognize that Team A will have more draft picks than roster slots and that Team B will come up one draft pick short next spring.
With that established, why not "freeze" Team A's final pick due to a full roster just like Yahoo does during the season? Why not send…

Allow Slow Drafts
Please add the capability for slow drafts. All you would have to do is up the draft pick time possibility all the way to 24 hours. CBS' website lets you do this and it's great for slow drafts. I see no reason why you can't do it as well...
