Another Vlad the Impaler Is Coming Soon

The son of former MLB standout Vladimir Guerrero is currently making some noise in the low minors and could be coming up to the Show very soon.

Father-son combinations in baseball are always cool -- and three-generation families are even cooler -- but this one could be very special.

Maybe not in the realm of the Griffey legacy, but in the general vicinity.

Vlad Jr is currently toiling away for the Single-A Lansing Lugnuts, but probably won't be there for too long.

The Impaler apprentice is on the way.

Well, that seemed a tad harsh.
