La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
The Twins have reassigned lefthander Phil Dumatrait, righthander Sam Deduno,catcher Danny Lehmann, outfielder Matt Carson and infielder Ray Chang to the minor league camp.
Including the return of Rule 5 righthander Terry Doyle to the White Sox, the Twins now have 39 players left in camp.
