Cito Culver has passed on his athletic scholarship to the University of Maryland and is ready to talk contract with the New York Yankees.Speaking of signing draft picks, here a list of all the Yankees signed draft picks so far:
Tomorrow night, the Irondequoit High shortstop will fly to Tampa, site of the Yankees’ minor-league complex, for a three-day visit. Culver said he’s not sure what is on the agenda, other than a physical.
He graduates from high school on Sunday and is not allowed to sign a contract with the Yankees until then.
“They asked me to come down to Tampa,’’ he said today. “I’m excited.’’
