Congrats to the Cubs and White Sox on making the playoffs within two minutes of each other yesterday. The White Sox did it on the back of this great David Sandlin start (6 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 7 Ks, ERA at 5.58). Pretty cool to go from last place to first, but […]

Yankees did a little preview of the playoffs for the Rays. They brought out their top bats and said, “This is gonna be so awesome if we meet the Rays in the playoffs and they actually start Mason Englert.” First off, the Yankees’ Chipper (present day version who can’t hit anymore), Ryan McMahon went 2-for-4, […]

Yesterday, Emmet Sheehan went 5 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 9 Ks, ERA at 4.57. Since returning from the minors, he’s thrown 17 IP and allowed 1 ER with 24 Ks. Where was this guy in April? May? June? Any of those 1st half months? Who was the guy in the first […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher slash deadline acquisition slash heartthrob Tyler Mahle continued his dominant run Friday night with a scoreless six inning outing, allowing just four base runners (three hits) and striking out six Astros to clinch the Braves’ spot in the postseason. It was his seventh win of the year, and fourth win with […]

Oh, hey, Googler, glad you found us from your search, “How to make beer?” This is exactly going to help you, because when I stand at a […]

It’s not all bad news that you don’t have Nick Martinez on any teams. If you drafted him instead of Paul Skenes in the 2nd round, your leaguemates would’ve lured you into Patrick’s basement. (Patrick is your leaguemate and the stock broker who keeps trying to get you in his fund, and you’re like, “Patrick, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Tim Tawa sounds like an NFL QB, doesn’t he? “Steps back to pass, and the wide flank is janky, needs to look back inside, and the tight end is loose! Oh my God, he’s a loose tight end! Oh God, this is gorgeous! Tim Tawa’s flanking no more! He’s loosening a tight end! Must’ve been […]

We welcome a wave of new prospects to the majors, including George Lombard Jr., Kaelen Culpepper, and Angel Genao, and debate which young bats are worth adding. We also break down some of the hottest players (Hansel, so hot right now) over the last week and month. Then it’s time for SAGNOF, with the closer […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Baltimore waved the white flag on the current generation of guys and traded C Adley Rutschman to their division rival in Boston. The Orioles got a package that looks good on paper but might wind up a little thin given the defensive value of Rutschman and the volatility of pitching prospects. I like RHP Anthony Eyanson as much as the next guy, but if I’m trading the best defensive catcher in baseball who can also hit, I want young hitters in return. More specifically, I want young hitters with speed who can play defense. OF Enndy Azocar fits that bill, and RHP Kyson Witherspoon was the 15th overall pick just last year, but I still think I’d have held Rutschman if I were the POBO. Or gotten two hitters and an arm. Or three hitters and a reliever.

Funniest thing about me thinking George Lombard Jr. sounds like he’s 120 years old and a former lead in George Cukor films is that he looks like he’s 12: Honestly, if that kid said to me where’s the Axe Spray, because he thought I worked at CVS because I’m old enough to be his grandfather […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Earlier this week one of the top young prospects was recalled by the New York Yankees to take over the shortstop position. That young up-and-coming dynasty player is George Lombard Jr.
Lombard entered the 2026 season as the 46th best prospect by Baseball America while MLB ranked him at 32nd and Baseball Prospectus pegged him as the 42nd best prospect. Not bad for a 21-year-old who was drafted with the 26th overall pick in 2023.
Barely three years later Lombard finds himself in the majors. The rapid rise from high school to the majors shouldn’t be a huge surprise as his father played saw time in the majors from 1998-2006.
Let’s take a look at George Lombard Jr.
