TBLA Roto League Update

by Phil Gurnee on Apr 15, 2010 1:21 PM PDT in Fantasy Baseball

These are the teams competing for the right to talk smack all winter.

TeamName	RealName	TBLA Name
Gritty McHustle	Mike White	Mike White
Belliards Belly	Phil Gurnee	Phil Gurnee
3 Dog Knights	Eric Stephen	Eric Stephen
Asian Invasion	Samuel Chevadisaikul	SamBruin98
Loney's Jabronis	Benjamin Court	court168627
Requiem For a Dream Weaver	Jacob Burch	Jacob Burch
Team 10	Karim Garcia	Who is Karim Garcia
Team 6	Sonny Taing	Tripon
Dukes of Flatbush	Jay Jaffe	Jay Jaffe
Tucson Tsunami	Julio Pena	Dr. Geek
We're Number One	David Young	David Young
Yer My Boy, Blue	Jeffrey Watson	Son of Steve Sax

We were honored to have Jay Jaffe join our group. Jay is famous for putting Baseball Prospectus on the map but he also has own blog called the Futility Infielder. I've been reading Jay for over 10 years now which should make both of us feel old. His breakdown of HOF candidates at baseball prospectus is always one of my favorite reads of the year.

Since this is a Dodger biased league let us see how the Dodgers were drafted. I'm going to put them in order as they got drafted.

Dodger	When	Whom
Matt Kemp	1st Round/3rd Pick	Phil Gurnee
Broxton	3rd Round/8th Pick	Dr Geek
Ethier	4th Round/5th Pick	Dr Geek
Kershaw	4th Round/6th Pick	Eric Stephen
Manny	4th Round/11th Pick	David Young
Billingsley	5th Round/7th Pick	Eric Stephen
Russell Martin	7th Round/12 Pick	Jacob Burch
Casey Blake	13th Round/5th Pick	Jay Jaffe
Kuroda	15th Round/2nd Pick	David Young
Loney	16th Round/7th Pick	Mike White
Furcal	19th Round/7th Pick	Eric Stephen
Withrow	27th Round/8th Pick	Dr Geek
DeWitt	29th Round/2nd Pick	David Young
Padilla	29th Round/7th Pick	Mike White
Ramon Ortiz	29th Round/8th Pick	Dr Geek
Sherrill	29th Round/12th Pick	Jacob Burch

As you can see quite a few teams ended up with zero Dodgers. I went with Kemp with the 3rd overall pick because it is a Dodger league. For me it was between him and Braun so it was easy to take the guy I'm going to root for everyday.

Here are the complete Draft Results

From time to time we will check in how everything is going. I'm writing this post today because I'm in the lead today and probably won't be by tomorrow.

My team name makes sense only when coupled with my team’s image:

Dr Geek with the Ramon Ortiz pick. Wow.

by CarolinaDodger on Apr 15, 2010 1:47 PM PDT reply actions

Yeah I was afraid of that

once I logged out, the links don’t work.

Is there a way to make the league public via the league settings? I think that option is there on other sites but never used CBS before.

by CarolinaDodger on Apr 15, 2010 1:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Probably

but Eric is the commissioner so he’ll have to adjust the setting.
Here is draft results, I uploaded them to a Google Doc.

According to the help center

you can’t change the league setting after the league has started.

Heh. I dropped him a game or two into the season.

SP success did not carry over at all.

by Dr. Geek on Apr 15, 2010 1:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Hopefully the Dodgers will follow your lead.

by ClipCat on Apr 15, 2010 2:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Mike Pelfrey

throwing a gem against the Rockies and DeLaRosa.

AJ Happ walked six, struck out none in five inning and yet allowed zero earned runs.

Believe it! Their Cal League team got their first win last night as well.

by NotJoeTorre on Apr 15, 2010 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Boston's lineup

without a slugging Manny/Ortiz/Bay does not seem so sluggy.

Josh Lindblom had another poor start

5 IP 9 hits, 1 BB, 5 K, 5 runs (4 earned), he’s given up 17 hits and 3 walks in 8 IP this season.

Albq. has taken a 13-5 lead in the 8th inning, Lindsay has 3 doubles and a homer.

by bhsportsguy on Apr 15, 2010 2:12 PM PDT reply actions

Luis Ayala trying to hold an 8 run lead

Brent Leach will get the win if he does.

by bhsportsguy on Apr 15, 2010 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Crazy

the over the hill gang (Lindsey, Gibbons, Redman) combined to go 12 for 15 with 7 doubles, one triple, and one home run. Russ Mitchell is trying to join the gang and banged out two doubles but it left him two hits short of admission.

by Phil Gurnee on Apr 15, 2010 2:24 PM PDT up reply actions

Gibbons had a good game yesterday too. Too bad he doesn’t have 2500 career hits or he could be a bench option.

by kinbote on Apr 15, 2010 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Angel / Yanks game tonite

Kazmir will plunk Tex in his second at bat (on purpose)

by Dodgers1981 on Apr 15, 2010 2:26 PM PDT reply actions

I'll bite

Why?

by kinbote on Apr 15, 2010 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Can't reveal my source

But, Kaz is pissed at Tex and Scioscia gave the go ahead

by Dodgers1981 on Apr 15, 2010 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions

HMMM

by NotJoeTorre on Apr 15, 2010 2:32 PM PDT up reply actions

I’m looking forward to seeing this, haha.

If it does, then Bravo.

by Ivdown on Apr 15, 2010 2:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Hahaha

St. Louis 5. St. Louis Cardinals (6-2; Previous: 7) – Pujols to-do list: 1. Win second World Series. 2. Win fourth MVP. 3. Get that pesky John Connor.

Standard categories in this league?

by Jesse S. on Apr 15, 2010 2:43 PM PDT reply actions

Normal 5 by 5

except Eric switched out OB for Average. I actually drafted not knowing the switch so I probably would not have drafted Kemp 3rd if I’d known it was an OB league. Somehow Iucked into Abreu to make up for it.

We thought the Dodgers had bullpen problems? Hoffman is a ticking timebomb.

by NotJoeTorre on Apr 15, 2010 2:50 PM PDT reply actions

What's worse

a closer who is sucks with heir apparent or no middle relief to get to great closer?

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

by Phil Gurnee on Apr 15, 2010 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions

No middle relief definitely sucks more, especially with a great closer just waiting to close it out.

by Jesse S. on Apr 15, 2010 3:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Kris Benson

has won the D-Backs #5 spot, per Nick Piecoro of the AZ Republic.

Unfortunately, he won’t start until Sunday, while we face #1 tonight.

by Eric Stephen on Apr 15, 2010 3:22 PM PDT reply actions

AZ lineup

C. Jackson 1B
Abreu 2B
Drew SS
Upton RF
Reynolds 3B
Young CF
Parra LF
Hester C
Haren P

by Eric Stephen on Apr 15, 2010 3:45 PM PDT reply actions

Carroll at 2B tonight, batting 8th

Rest of lineup the same, per Jimmy Bramlett of LAist.

Note to Phil: I have updated the game thread lineups.

by Eric Stephen on Apr 15, 2010 3:59 PM PDT reply actions

How come you don't use the lineup widget?

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

by Phil Gurnee on Apr 15, 2010 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions

Because

(a) I get the lineups quicker than whatever service SB Nation has
(b) I hate how it looks
