The Twins selected North Carolina shortstop Levi Michael in the first round of the 2011 draft, making him the first college position player they've taken in the first round since first baseman Travis Lee in 1996. The 20-year-old switch-hitter was taken with the 30th overall pick. He hit .309 with 27 homers and 159 RBIs in three seasons with the Tar Heels.
