There will be some big names representing teams at this year's First-Year Player Draft. CC Sabathia will be on hand to represent the Yankees in Secaucus, N.J., and he'll be accompanied by Hall of Famers. Ferguson Jenkins, Pat Gillick and Tommy Lasorda will represent the Cubs, Phillies and the Dodgers, respectively, while Frank Robinson will stand in for the Office of the Commissioner. Robinson, ninth on the all-time home run list, will be assisted in that capacity by four-time World Series-winning manager Joe Torre.
