Checking up on the 2010 Draftees

Cito Culver: Culver is still playing with Staten Island, hitting .297 through 34 games. Culver also has a respectable .357 wOBA, and continues to draw walks at an above average rate. The only real negative aspect about Culver so far is his lack of power, as he hasn't taken the ball out of the park in 49 games with Staten Island, beginning from last year.

Angelo Gumbs: Angelo has been playing with Staten Island since the beginning of the year, after playing with GCL rookie league last year. Gumbs is hitting .294 with the Yankees and has a .369 wOBA to his credit. Angelo's strikeout rate is something to keep an eye on, however, as he goes down at the plate 23% of the time.

Rob Segedin: Segedin has struggled somewhat after being drafted third round out of Tulane. Segedin is currently playing with High-A Tampa after moving up from Charleston earlier this year. Yet, his average and wOBA are below average so far, although he hit very well in Charleston, having a .323 BA and .394 wOBA to his name.

Mason Williams: Out of all the 2010 Yankee draftees, Williams has arguably had the best season so far. Playing with Low-A Staten Island, he's hitting .348 with a .406 wOBA (!). The only minor concern for Williams is his low walk rate, which could become a problem when and if he is promoted to higher levels of MiLB.
