When doing a player search in free agents, if I type more than 3 letters of a player's name, the search function does not allow it and wipes out the first 3 letters I typed. Is anyone else having this problem?

When doing a player search in free agents, if I type more than 3 letters of a player's name, the search function does not allow it and wipes out the first 3 letters I typed. Is anyone else having this problem? If the player is not rostered or in the free agent pool it won't recognize that player. It marks the similar wording up to a point and then disappears when it doesn't recognize anything further. I had a problem with the search over the weekend but it seems to be working for me now.

Even when I switch from Free Agents to All Players, if I search for Strasburg, it doesn't allow me to go beyond STR. However, if I scroll down, he is listed at the bottom of the page. I've tried it with Firefox, I.E.8, and Opera.

Strasburg doesn't work for me either.

I also tried Aroldis Chapman and the same thing happened. Yet, when I manually scrolled down the page, he was listed there also. Shouldn't they be included in the search function because they both got drafted and are on the roster of teams in my league?

I'll e-mail the tech guys and see if your request can be done.



Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, Geoff. Those two players really aren't Free Agents because they are already on teams rosters in my league; however, they should show up when doing a player search on "All Players". Maybe the tech guys should add all players who got drafted to the search function in case we want to see who owns a certain player.
