Charles Edward Culberson (born April 10, 1989) is a professional baseball second baseman in the Colorado Rockies organization of Major League Baseball.

Career

The Giants drafted Culberson in the first round (51st overall) in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft out of Calhoun High School in Calhoun, Georgia. They added him to the 40 man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft after the 2011 season, in which he batted .259 with 10 home runs and 56 runs batted in for the Richmond Flying Squirrels of the Double-A Eastern League. He was rated the seventh best second base prospect prior to the 2012 season.

After beginning the 2012 season with the Fresno Grizzlies of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, the Giants promoted Culberson to MLB on May 13, 2012, and he made his MLB debut that day and collected his first major league base hit against Arizona Diamondbacks starter Joe Saunders.

Colorado Rockies

On July 27, 2012, Cullberson was traded to the Colorado Rockies for Marco Scutaro.

Personal

Culberson's father, Charles, played in the Giants' minor league system for five seasons.
