DAY 3 PICKS

Day 3 picks are limited to $100,000 maximum signing bonus. Any dollar value over that amount will go against their draft limits from the first ten rounds. Here are the Day 3 picks (will be updated as selections are made):

Round 11 (333rd overall): Tyler Benninghoff, RHP, HS in Kansas

Benninghoff has dealt with some arm issues after a football injury in the fall. Very talented. The Arkansas commit is a three-sport athlete with a low-90s fastball and a hammer curveball that is one of the best in the class. Signability is obviously an issue here.

Round 12 (363rd overall): Zach Featherstone, LF from Tallahassee CC

Well-regarded prep who is committed to North Carolina State after spending two years in junior college.

Round 13 (393rd overall): Ryan Mason, RHP, UC-Berkeley

Already the third Cal-Berkeley player drafted by the Twins in this draft after taking Chris Paul last year and Trevor Hildenberger and Michael Theofanopoulos in 2014.

Round 14 (423rd overall): Andre Jernigan, SS, Xavier

Jernigan is described as a slick-fielding, power-hitting athletic shortstop who was named the Big East Player of the Year in his senior year.

Round 15 (453rd overall): Tyler Wells, RHP, Cal State San Bernardino

Round 16 (483rd overall): Tyler Beardsley, RHP, Cal State Sacramento

Round 17 (513th overall): Kidany Salva,C, Texas HS

Round 18 (543rd overall): Tim Richards, SS, Cal State Fullerton

Richards hit well all season and has the chops to possibly stick at shortstop professionally.

Round 19 (573rd overall): Sean Poppen, RHP, Harvard

The senior is probably the smartest guy the Twins will draft this year. Big and strong, Poppen is up to 93 with his fastball.

Round 20 (603rd overall): Shamoy Christopher, C, Roane State CC

Christopher, from the Virgin Islands, was described to me as a "pop-up" guy. He can really catch and throw, but has a long ways to go with the bat. Younger than many high school guys.

Round 21 (633rd overall): Domenick Carlini, LHP, SE Louisiana

Round 22 (663rd overall): Hank Morrison, OF, Mercyhurst

Big, athletic, power/speed combo (but obviously doing it as a 22-year-old against low competition).

Round 23 (693rd overall): Caleb Hamilton, SS, Oregon State.

Hamilton was drafted out of high school and didn't sign. This year he didn't play much and had a sub-.200 batting average. Digging on this pick...

Update: Twins have always been a big fan of Hamilton, who played a lot early in his career but was recruited over. Very good defensively, athletic with raw power and can run. A deal with Hamilton should be done soon.

Round 24 (723rd overall): Matt Byars, C, Michigan State

Byers was a Wisconsin prep player, the second Wisconsin prep catcher they have taken.

Round 25 (753rd overall): Colton Davis, RHP, Western Carolina

The senior was a four-year contributor in the Catamount bullpen, making 90 appearances. Davis had a career K/9 of 10.89.

Round 26 (783rd overall): Greg Deichmann, 3B, LSU

Round 27 (813th overall): Scott Ogrin, LF, California HS

Committed to Cal Poly.

Round 28 (843rd overall): Matt Jones, LHP, Sinclair Secondary School (Canada HS)

Walt Burrows continues to have his scouting presence in Canada felt during his first draft with the Twins. Jones, who hails from the same school as Stephen Wickens, is committed to the University of Montevallo.

Round 29 (873rd overall): Dane Hutcheon, SS, U of Montevallo

The diminutive infielder hit .365 with 16 stolen bases this season.

Round 30 (903rd overall): Quin Grogan, RHP, Lewis-Clark State

Grogan struck out 83 in 75 1/3 innings this season.

Round 31 (933rd overall): Juan Gamez, C, North Dakota State

A stocky catcher with a strong arm, Gamez will need to improve with the bat.

Round 32 (963rd overall): Matt Wallner, RHP, Minnesota HS

The Forest Lake senior is committed to Southern Miss.

Round 33 (993rd overall): Clark Beeker, RHP, Davidson

Fifth-year senior is an innings-eater who doesn't miss many bats, but doesn't walk many either.

Round 34 (1,023rd overall): Joe Cronin, SS, Boston College

Drafted as a shortstop, Cronin hasn't started a game there since 2014, instead splitting his time between first and third base. Cronin walks nearly as much as he strikes out.

Round 35 (1,053rd overall): Austin Tribby, LHP, Missouri

Bullpen arm for Mizzo who has a good K-rate.

Round 36 (1,083rd overall): Patrick McGuff, RHP, Morehead State

McGuff has been a two-year starter for Morehead State and has struck out a lot of batters (98) in 99 2/3 innings. He's also walked 58, which isn't great.

Round 37 (1,113th overall): Danny Mayer, OF, Pacific

Getting his first significant game action in three years, Mayer hit 15 home runs and .314.

Round 38 (1,143rd overall): Brent Rooker, RF, Mississippi State

Batted .315 in his only year as a full-time starter.

Round 39 (1,173rd overall): Casey Scroggins, CF, U of Tampa

Speedy outfielder with great defensive skills.

Round 40 (1,203th overall): TJ Collett, C, Indiana HS
