When Yankees officials talk about George Lombard Jr., they almost always bring up his high-level makeup first. But he is becoming a pretty good baseball player, too.

Aaron Boone is doing everything he can to help the New York Yankees bounce back. Looking to shake things up, the manager has made roster changes in hopes of finding a spark, and one of the players getting a closer look is George Lombard Jr.

Lombard, son of former major leaguer George Lombard Sr., had started the season with the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades.
