better way to search for players that fit a certain build?

Would love to search only for certain builds, like a good fielding high OBP infielder. are there any easier ways to do this? the auction block is just very tough to navigate and sort

If you haven't presumed it already based on the silence - unfortunately no.

You can search within the leagues you already are in. Not perfect and not complete but a start. Go to the player search screen, set the position you are looking for and change the display to ratings and then you can sort on the rating of your choice.

To expand with an additional option to Maddox's suggestion, download each of your leagues into an Excel spreadsheet and then search there. As you are in additional leagues, you'll be pulling on a much larger set of players (rather than only the 800 or so of one league).

Custom views are pretty helpful too. Like, you can add the defense ratings to the same view that the batting ratings are on, and save that as a new view so you don't have to switch back & forth constantly. That makes sorting the list & scanning very efficient.

I use my leagues to do this.

Create your own views in the sortable stats with the numbers you want to see.

If you use all 3 of your PT teams available that gives you 3 leagues to look at. Now, you'll need to get them promoted, etc.

I have also seen some folks on Discord provide splits for players when they get requested.

Heck, I wish I could even see the full player profile screen on the auction house screen with a click. That seems like that should be a simple enough fix.
