The New York Yankees might have another star shortstop in the making. George Lombard Jr. became the newest member of the Yankees' first-round family this past June, though with his big-league pedigree, it's kind of a shock he didn't somehow find his way to the Toronto Blue Jays and their roving band of MLB sons. Lombard Sr. was an Atlanta Braves draftee and long-time Detroit Tiger who currently coaches in the Motor City. His son might've entered his draft year with even higher ambitions than his second-round pops -- though it was expected to take a first-round selection to sway him away from a lofty commitment to Vanderbilt.
