La Velle E. Neal's Blog

For those of you who haven't yet made your way to the Star Tribune website and checked out Neal's blog, you should. I'm incredibly excited about this, because it should mean significantly more access and news over the course of spring training than we've received before. There are the requisite stories of fun and folly, but I'm more interested in the details that could affect action on the field. A summary of today's notes:

1.) Sidney Ponson looks to be in at least reasonably good shape

2.) Justin Morneau, Michael Cuddyer, and Lew Ford are all already in camp

3.) Alexander Smit looks - well - like any young player in his first camp would like: like a deer in the headlights.

Once again, check out Neal's blog. Let's hope this thing gets updated a couple of times a day - if so, it will be a great spring training resource.
