Whomever has Mr. Yelich, please take care of him for me. On principle, I couldn’t take him at #1 with him being my Franchise Keeper. He should be enjoyed by another in whatever the hell this session turns out to be.

Just make sure you treat Mr. Acuña properly. I have plans for him.

Yahoo has begun putting a "Covid 19" designation next to players but it's useless since you can't IL them for it. Who thought that was useful?

Tried adding one "NA" spot to see if that works but it does not. I sent a complaint. I hope they get a million of them. Idiots.

Yeah, both of mine ‘should’ be good to go for the start of the season. It’s really just identifying those who have had it or currently do. There’s no correlation to either which is stupid. Classic Yahoo!

I think not setting a draft time in the original league is going to work. Yahoo is sending me panicky emails. :lol:

Opening Day is this week and your league, BP 2020, still does not have a draft time! Don’t miss out on Fantasy Baseball this season.

Went to remove it but someone is already using it so we're just going with it - we have 1 NA roster spot now.

Jake - Just a thought, I haven't tried it for my league yet.

My league uses 5 DL/IL slots, the most you can use.
I told everyone if there is an explosion of COVID-related IL designations that I would add bench spots instead of N/A.
This is one of the few changes you can make post-draft.
We currently have 5 bench spots, and if the $hit hits the fan I'll try to make it 10 spots.

I didn't want to do that pre-draft, as that would have just made our draft longer. I'm hoping to game the Yahoo system a bit:lol:

I'm usually opposed to any roster/rule changes post-draft but there's nothing "usual" about this season. Thanks for the suggestion.

My advice? If you expand rosters 5 spots put everyone on waivers for a day so one guy doesn't go out and grab all of the most desirable players. Then announce when it begins.

Right on, communication and 'league-first' thinking is a huge part of it. FWIW, we're normally a $200 entry keeper league but with this years kludge, we're doing a "phuck it", no keeper aging, $50 a man, winner-take-all set-up just for kicks.

1. It isn't so much a rule change as it is a 'work around'. We all know what we want the end-game to look like and Yahoo is fine for a free site, but only has so much capacity/flexibility.

2. We do a FAAB for acquisitions and I think Yahoo pushed all leagues into a FAAB waiver world for 2020 so everyone has the same shot at any player on waivers.

Good luck to you and yours.
