John Sickels at Minor League Ball reviewed the Yankees’ 2010 draft haul today, saying that everything looks good except for the Cito Culver pick, which he describes as an oddity. “Many Yankee fans are upset by this pick,” he says of Culver, “but I’ll take a wait-and-see attitude at this point … I’ve been doing this kind of work long enough to know that the ‘sure’ picks often don’t work out and the weird ones sometimes do.” That’s what the draft is all about, waiting and seeing.
Aside from Culver, Sickels’ lauded the Angelo Gumbs (2nd round), Rob Segedin (3rd), and Gabe Encinas (6th) selections, though he’s not to fond of Tommy Kahnle (5th). Check it out, it’s a short and quick read that gives you a good overview of the top of the Yanks’ draft.
