Yanks Select Cito Culver With Their First Pick

Written by Greg Fertel | 07 June 2010

The Yankees selected Cito Culver out of a high school near Rochester, NY with their first overall pick. I'll comment more on this and other picks tomorrow, but at first glance, it seems like a reach. Culver did not make Keith Law's top 100 list and was somewhere in the 160s of Baseball America's.

I'm sure the Yankees like the kid for good reasons, but there were still bigger names and bigger talents available. I wonder if Culver was someone they could have snagged with their second round pick, which is around 80th in the draft.

Check back tomorrow for more on the Yankees' 2010 draft.
