    Default Yahoo's new feature for Fantasy Baseball

    I just noticed the cool new feature that was added to Yahoo's fantasy baseball platform; the batting order! It's not a game-changer, but it can still help a manager make a quick decision if an MLB team decided to make some last minute changes to their lineup.

    Basically, it's a small green circle with a number in it next to a batter's name (same area as the green checkmark that appears next to a pitcher's name when he's starting). For example, N. Arenado has a 4 in the circle whereas C. Seager has a 2. Hopefully they get the order correctly; will have to monitor it over the next few weeks.

    I'll try to post a screenshot later if I have a chance.

    I agree it's a fun little feature and will help us keep on top of lineup changes through the season. Probably won't make too much of a difference.
    I did notice a lot earlier today that there were some players who showed up with the red x beside their name indicating they weren't playing but the lineup just wasn't released yet. Something to watch out for.

    i joined my first baseball league of the year and before the draft a guy popped up and said "Hi you have the 6th overall pick, its a great pick" blah blah blah and proceeds to talk about your situation and not to mess it up. Thought that was very cool!

    I love the new feature. I am in a CBS league and it also has that feature now too.

    Fantasy sports creating jobs for people... I like it!
