TBLA Roto League Update
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.

Announcing the 2010 True Blue LA Fantasy League
If you would like to join the 2010 True Blue LA Fantasy League, now is your chance. SB Nation has partnered up with CBSSports.com and as a result we get one free Commissioner League, which is normally $179.99.
The True Blue LA league will have 12 teams, and use a rotisserie style 5x5 scoring system. I haven't yet decided on the categories, but I'm leaning toward SLG, OBP, runs, RBI, SB and ERA, WHIP, wins, saves, and strikeouts. We can iron out the details over the next week or so.
We have limited space in the league, so if you are interested please indicate in the comments below.
Tentatively, I'm shooting for Sunday, March 28 for the draft.
As part of the partnership between SB Nation and CBSSports.com, as you may have noticed with some of the ads on the site this week, you can sign up for your own Commissioner League for half price ($89.99).
