Read: Scouting report suggest Cito Culver should pitch

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Mike Newman over at FanGraphs has a scouting report on the Yankees 2010 first round draft pick, 19-year-old shortstop Cito Culver, and from what it sounds like they might be better off moving him to the mound rather than bank on him becoming a future shortstop in the Bronx.
