After going winless in his first six trips to the mound Tyson Brummett picked up his second consecutive win in his longest and most successful outing as a Thresher on Thursday. The Threshers gave him an early lead when Gus Milner crushed a solo home run in the first inning to put the team up 1-0 in a hurry.

The Cardinals picked up a run in the second and a run in the third inning to take a 2-0 lead, but that was all the run production they would get as Tyson Brummett clamped down and shut them out for the next five innings. Tyson would give up just three hits from the fourth through eighth inning while the Thresers offense came alive to get a big sixth inning to take a 6-2 lead that they would never relinquish. (more…)

The Clearwater Threshers looked to battle back against the Palm Beach Cardinals on Wednesday night after dropping the first two games of the series by one run each. The Phillies #1 draft pick in the 2007 draft Joe Savery would take the hill in the game, and the team sorely needed a win and some momentum going into the all-star break with the first half of the season rapidly coming to a close.

Sam Walls Promoted to Reading

June 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Clearwater Threshers bullpen star Sam Walls was promoted to AA Reading today. Sam had been spectacular for the Threshers this year after missing the entire 2007 season with an injury. He had given up just 3 earned runs all season in 33.1 innings of work, and had not given up a single run in over a month.

We wish nothing but the best for Sam, though we will certainly miss his arm out of the pen in Clearwater.

The move leaves the Threshers’ roster at 23 players, two shy of the 25 player roster limit. This should mean that we can anticipate at least a couple more roster moves soon. With the draft having just past and the first-half of the South Atlantic League coming to a close I would expect a pitcher or two from Lakewood to head to Clearwater. At the top of my wish list would be some sorely needed starting pitching. Chance Chapman and Drew Naylor have both had good years at Lakewood and I would expect at least one if not both to be moved soon. Chapman seems the most likely candidate base on his age, but I would not be unhappy or surprised to see both in Clearwater.
