The bloodlines were strong in this year’s MLB First Year Player Draft, almost 50 players have some blood tie to a former player. Brett Wallach, a righthanded pitcher, was selected in the 3rd round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. While the White Sox are hoping lightning will strike twice as they reached into the bargain basement, selecting the son of Harold Baines, HB2, in the 45th round.
