Adjustment to Wavier/Date Turnover Time
Is it possible to change the waiver/day turnover time? As set currently, the first available time to complete Free Agent pickup and still persevere your waiver priority position is 3am EST. Based upon this setup, individuals (with ample time on their hands) are rewarded for staying up or waking up at 3am EST and making a pickup. This puts some individuals (most of whom have a job) at a disadvantage as 3am EST just does not work someone who is on a typical work schedule. Not sure if this is doable, but the current setup is less than optimal.

allow players to be dropped after they have played on a given day
Why cant we cut someone who had already played for the day? How does that benefit anyone? I want to cut someone to make room for a player that will be coming off of the IL but cannot. Now if i dont rem,ember to do this in the morning before work of, that pitcher that I want to activate won't be able to play on my roster for another week. i am sorry but I just dont see the logic behind your new rules (by new I mean they began last year).

Get rid of this add/drop wait until tomorrow to get your players rule.
Why do you have to wait until the next day to get players off of waivers? Some of us have jobs and other responsibilities and cannot get on these free leagues every day. I have had half line-up rosters so many times since you started doing this that if i make it through this year, I definitely will not be p;laying here next year.

This not being able to add and drop player when ever it the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen

Change the waiver system back.
I keep getting screwed on waivers due to the IL system in place. I lost a player yesterday to the IL after their game had started. Due to this, I couldn't make a waiver claim until today which means I can't get a replacement player until tomorrow. Total ****. If this is the new system going forward, then I'll have to switch exclusively to ESPN,

Your IL system is RIDICULOUS...I already moved Mazara to the bench from IL....
Quit handcuffing people & fix the mistake...
Ive been playing for over 30 years..& this system is atrocious...
Its bad enough you cant even put people in trades/transaction when you put a guy on the waiver wire...
You need to fire the fool running your system now...
No reason whatsoever why I shouldn't be able to make moves right now...
Im not wrong.
I know Im right..Fix it...
Or I playin' this ********* anymore...Really
Its bad..
This is rookie stuff.

Search option for ONLY Players playing today
I want to just sort by who's playing today and see who I want to pick up. I don't care for the people who isn't playing. I'd look at what ESPN is doing and update the filters for waivers.

Yahoo waiver glitch
Our league has a 3 move maximum per week. By Sunday all of us were out of moves. However, the waivers execute on Monday morning at 3 am (a new week). Some folks in our league were able to put in claims on Sunday for the Monday night pickup. But others got the message that they were out of moves for the week. Please fix this ASAP. It is creating issues in our league. It is an obvious glitch.

Double the max waiver moves the first "week" of the season.
First week of fantasy baseball is played over 2 weeks. Yet the max waiver moves stays at 6. Should be at least 10.

Reset adds/pickups for "Extended Opening Week"

Reset player acquistion counter based on week/matchup player will be available
For daily transaction leagues: If I reach the matchup acquisition limit and attempt to pick up a player on Sunday who will not be available for my lineup until Monday, I should be able to complete that acquisition. That player add should count against the next week/matchup's limit as the player will not be able to be used in my lineup until the following day.

Streamline waiver claim priority: Tiles/Drag&Drop please! Dropdown rank menu is TERRIBLE!
This suggestion will only make the user experience better there is no downside. The drop down ranking menu to prioritize waiver claims is terrible! Please make each waiver claim a drag & drop tile like you do with editing lineups on the team page, i.e. I should be able to prioritize my waiver claim by dragging and dropping each claim into the order I wish the claim to be processed. Yahoo!'s current dropdown rank for each claim is hard to keep track of when doing multiple claims at once. After around 5 claims it's easy to lose track of the…

Allow Waiver settings to be similar to fantasy football.
It would be helpful, especially in weekly lineup leagues, to have waivers be able to be set similarly to Fantasy Football. The idea would be the commissioner could select which day waivers run and which day all players go on waivers. All players are free agents the other days. ie. Waivers start at first game on Monday and process on Thursday, now any player who was not added via waivers is a free agent available for pick up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The software if designed to NOT allow a waiver add on Sunday after the previous week maximum has been reached. This is a flaw...

Inconsistent Waiver Procedure
Today is Monday 5/14 at 2:15 AM and I just tried to place a waiver claim for the standard 3 AM claim cycle. 3 AM has consistently been the cutoff to place claims except for today, the cycle kicked in sometime around 2 am...aka claims placed after 2 am now will take place on Tuesday 5/15. This is not only unfair to the night owls, but also those in the pacific and mountain time zones who are used to the 3 am cutoff.
While tolerable, it's disappointing that claims process at different times of the night unlike other servers. The…

A standard waiver for hitters, continuous FAAB waivers for pitchers option
Would allow you to fill your lineup on day of games, while also preventing the "vulture pickup" problem that affects mainly closers.
The main problem with continuous waivers is not being able to fill your lineup on day of games when games are postponed and guys aren't starting, of course. The primary annoyance with standard is vultures picking up setup men for injured/removed closers. This would solve both of those...
Seems to give you best of both worlds and I wouldn't think that hard to implement...

For leagues that use FAAB instead of the traditional waiver wire pickup,
For leagues that use FAAB to pick up players, there is not an option for a minimum bid and it still allows for players to be picked up without using tyour FAAB money which defetas the purpose of that setting.
My suggestion is for leagues that have that setting is for the only way to pick up a player is to use atleast $1 of your FAAB money.
When you pick up a player either via FAAB or a FA Pickup it still takes a day for the move to happen even after you find out you pick up that…

Allow Waiver Order by Standing
Please add ability to sequence waiver wire pick ups by the opposite of the league standing just like in fantasy football. This would be allow lower placed teams the ability to improve their team more significantly creating more parity for leagues who would desire such.

Allow manager to put in waiver claim on a player, even though they were the one who dropped them.
Sometimes when I drop someone and then during the days he's on waivers, something changes and I may be interested in having the player again. But for some reason, when you drop someone, you're not allowed to make a waiver claim for them, using the standard waiver system. You can make waiver claims in the FAAB system on your own dropped players. So why not in standard waivers, too?
