is there a way in Yahoo to see all players in one list, except for keepers, sorted by some kind of preseason ranking? i can see how to view batters and pitchers separately but that doesn't help in trying to guess who'll be available each time i come up in the draft. in case you can't tell i'm VERY bored at work today

jesus. Half your team is relievers! They’re good ones at least, but I guess the yahoo auto brain saw no one was scooping them up (because we do sv+h I guess) and thought it was a great deal. My other league is AL only, 10 team auction and whenever a team auto drafts, it’s a train wreck. Seems to have no awareness of how to properly fill out a team.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 March 2019 00:16 (five years ago) link
Doesn't it just pick the highest ranked player in Yahoo's rankings, regardless of position?

drafted somewhat drunk and after another draft that has completely different player pools (lots of keepers but different keepers; no pitchers; points league; head to head) and tried just for fun a spreadsheet i found online. i was so busy with the stupid spreadsheet that i forgot to pay attnetion to my team, and about halfway through the draft i gave up on the sheet and just started winging it. i think my team is probably awful?

LuvWilTeheranUsApart returns for another year of mediocrity. Updated team name pending if I can think of a new one (usually I can't).
C Yasmani Grandal1B Anthony Rizzo (the captain, my veteran keeper in his final year with the team)2B Robinson Cano3B Matt ChapmanSS Alex Bregman OF Michael BrantleyOF Stephen PiscottyOF Hunter RenfroeUtil Mat Olson
BN Mitch MorelandBN Shin-soo ChooBN Garrett HampsonBN Vladimir Guerrero Jr.BN Bo Bichette
SP Jacob de GromSP Trevor BauerSP Kyle FreelandSP Mike Fiers
SP-RP Ross StriplingSP-RP Brad Peacock
RP Adam OttavinoRP Pedro Strop
The good:
I didn't draft too many pitchers like I do every year.I'm set for 2021-2023 with a core of Bichette, Vlad, and Bregman.The SS/3B controversy between Bregman and Chapman (Bregman had to make the switch to SS when I drafted Chapman) should push them both to excel, much like with Jeter and A-Rod.I've been alternating three bad years with three good ones for a decade in this league which means I'm due this year.
The bad:
Relief core is weak.OF is sketchy.My starters are fragile and/or might get eaten by Coors Field.

Nth-consecutive autodraft (with certain jerks hastily filtered out beforehand). Roster tidying imminent.
Probably no point in keeping this guy much longer.
