From what I can tell, only two Dodgers made the cut for Leaf. They are Darnell Sweeney and Grant Holmes. As you may know, Sweeney was the Dodgers 13th round pick in 2012, and has been very impressive. Right now the infielder is playing the AFL and is hitting the cover off the ball. BTW, the Darnell Sweeney card is his very first to be found in packs of cards. Grant Holmes was the Dodgers 1st round pick in 2014 and recently completed his first year of professional Baseball. He appeared to struggle a bit when he advanced from the AZL Dodgers to the Ogden Raptors, but continued striking out batters at a healthy clip. Overall, Holmes pitched 48.1 innings, struck out 58 batters and had a 1.076 WHIP.
Check out their cards below. As always there are numerous parallel cards available. Here is a listing: Silver Prismatic, Blue Prismatic #/50 or less, Purple Prismatic #/25 or less, Green Prismatic #/10 or less, Red Prismatic #/5 or less, Gold Prismatic 1/1.

Also available in packs are Leaf are 'Buyback' cards featuring autographs of several former Dodgers. Check them out below. Unfortunately, a complete checklist of available 'Buybacks' has not yet been made available by Leaf, so the listing below may not be complete. If you are aware of more please let me know.

1991 Leaf - John Candelaria (#/45) 1992 Leaf - Roger McDowell (#/13)
BTW, I recently won a Holmes and Candelaria cards on eBay. So, I'll be sharing those soon. And I'm eager to add the McDowell since he'd be so fun to write about. He might be the biggest goofball to ever put on a Dodger uniform.
