Player Selection Features

When I first logged on to the 2016 MLB schedule and entered my first contest, there were a couple of other player friendly tools added to the draft rooms.

You’ll see at the top of the available player list, just over the positions, a Weather Info tab. This will give you up to date weather and forecasts for your selected game(s).

The Line Up info tab will list every games starting line ups (if available at that time), so you can see who is in and who is out that nights line ups.

Below is the indicator legend, these notations will posted by each players name as they apply. Note the NG not in game, NA Not active and √ 7 which means “in the line up” and his batting order position. This information will be posted as soon as the info is available and will help you greatly with your line up selections.
