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.

Day 2 of the draft is less than an hour away. Here's MLB.com's preview. Here's Baseball America's list of the best players available on Day 2.
Local fans are waiting to see where Rochester Century pitcher Mitch Brown winds up. The Twins have the third pick in the second round. Will they go for him? How many pitchers will the Twins take today?
Also, righthander Kyle Gibson climbs on a mound today and throws from 60 feet for the first time in his comeback from Tommy John surgery. The plan is for him to pitch in extended spring training games in a month or so to get the feel for pitching back. By early August, he'll be throwing in minor league games and finish the year out there.
