New CBS Mock Draft has the Twins selecting RHP Clayton Beeter, Texas Tech. Pick: RHP Clayton Beeter, Texas Tech ($2,570,100 slot value) Beeter is one of the most fascinating players in the draft class. He's shot up draft boards these last few weeks even while college baseball has been shut down because his Trackman data (spin rate, etc.) so off the charts good. There's risk here -- Beeter had Tommy John surgery as a freshman and walked 20 in 20 1/3 innings as a sophomore -- but analytical inclined teams like the Twins see untapped potential. Our R.J. Anderson ranked Beeter as the No. 37 prospect in the draft class. They have Max Meyer going number 6 to the Mariners.

Jonathan Mayo's latest mock draft has the Twins selecting Justin Foscue a 2B from Mississippi State. Foscue seems like a safe pick, I'm not sure about his upside though. It feels to me like Thad Levine is a bit more willing to take a gamble on upside in round 1 than to play it safe, so I'm not sold on this prediction. "27. Twins: Justin Foscue, 2B, Mississippi State It’s extremely possible that Foscue’s offensive profile has him coming off the board before this pick if teams prefer the floor of a safe college bat, but he’d be in the mix for Minnesota if he’s available." He's got Max Meyer going number 5 overall to the Blue Jays too.

The Bleacher Report Mock has the Twins taking Mlodzinski too.

Not much draft talk on this site considering the draft is just around the corner. Here's a CBS Mock Draft: They have the Twins selecting Cade Cavalli Pick: RHP Cade Cavalli, Oklahoma ($2,570,100 slot value) This draft class is very deep in college pitching and, in our mock draft, the Twins can pick from several who would fit nicely in into the middle of the first round in a typical draft year (Cavalli, South Carolina's Carmen Mlodzinski, Duke's Bryce Jarvis, Georgia's Cole Wilcox, etc.). Cavalli will touch 98 mph while looking like he's playing catch, and his breaking ball gives him a potential out-pitch. Some injuries and control questions keep him out of the top half of the first round, but there's nice upside here. Our R.J. Anderson ranked Cavalli as the No. 16 prospect in the draft class. Is anyone else paying attention to draft?

What about Buxton, any timetable for him?

Add in Marwin and Buxton health issues and this makes some sense.

Matt Canterino is adjusting well to pro ball. His funky delivery reminds me of a right handed Clayton Kershaw.

Good stuff. Espino and Jung are the 2 that have really intrigued me the most for awhile now, glad to see them both around 13 on this list.

Nice to see Ryan Jeffers get promoted to CR.

Does anyone know when Larnach going to start playing in games?

Yeremi De La Cruz went 5 for 6 today with 2 doubles a HR and 9 RBI.

Who's got a scouting report on Brian Navareto for me? He seems to be holding his own at AA.

Some intriguing names picked by the Twins. Day 3 has historically been a bit of a crapshot for them though. Going back the last 10 years, I could only find 5 guys they have drafted that on day 3 (rounds 11+) that have made it up to the Twins. Trevor Hildenberger - 2014 - Round 22 Zack Granite - 2013 - Round 14 Taylor Rogers - 2012 - Round 11 Ryan O'Rourke - 2010 - Round 13 Michael Tonkin - 2008 - Round 30 Am I missing anyone?
