It's all part of your rock and roll fantasy

Well, not rock and roll, but fantasy ball, which is about as far away from rock star cool as it gets (this from a guy currently struggling to figure out who should be his third keeper before draft day...).  But whatever.  Most of us can't rip off hot riffs like Keith Richards, but we can operate a computer, draft and then manage a fake baseball team.  You do what you can.  With that in mind, here's ESPN.com's fantasy preview of the Dodgers (we'll post more previews throughout the spring...).  Some highlights, in paraphrased form:

• Don't overrate Dodger Stadium as a pitcher's park
• First Dodger to draft:  Russell Martin
• Look to the children: Kemp. Loney.  LaRoche (he's a sleeper!). 

Remember, too, that Loney says in a chat for Dodgers.com he's going to do well this year, and is a worthy fantasy option.  I'd be nervous if he said otherwise, but still, it's encouraging.

Just out of curiosity, do those of you who play fantasy ball gravitate towards Dodgers players?  Do you try to avoid them?  Or are you cold hearted and dispassionate, with the ability to cut hometown heroes if they disappoint?  I know there are all kinds of approaches on this one.
