I did read that Culven's favorite player is Derek Jeter.

But, I don't think I have ever read anything about them seeing another Derek Jeter in him. Other then the fact that he might play shortstop and come from the minors like him and be good for the Yankees when/if he gets called up to the big leagues.

I don't think there will be another DJ. At best this kid will be a good shortstop and work out good on our team 3-4 maybe 5 years from now.
Most of the Yankee fan sites, Baseball America, and KLaw all thought we were getting Christian Yellich. Marlins took him before us and the next best thing was Castellanos (sp?.)

Keep in mind Damon Oppenheimer the Yankees Scouting Director was calling the shots. Cashman or Hal Steinbrenner didn't have a real say in it.

I guess what I'm saying is, nobody saw this coming. So we're all kinda scratching our heads right now.
