The Threshers had the day off on Sunday, and my wife was working, so that left me nothing better to do than tinker around on the computer all day. (I can always mow the grass tomorrow.)
I got the CTN (Clearwater Threshers News) Videos updated with a new video and I added a TON of new stuff to the website shop. Most of the new stuff is baseball related, but there is a bit of other stuff in there for the adventurous.
Check out the new stuff and enjoy….

The Phillies signed two players from the independent Northern League team the Kansas City T-Bones. The players are second baseman Rob Watson and outfielder Kevin Mahar. The two have been assigned to Clearwater and will join the team in Jupiter for this evening’s game.
From The Northern League Website: “Watson, 28, was the league’s leading fielder at second base, while also leading his position peers offensively. Defensively he led all second basemen with a .990 fielding percentage, committing only three errors in 295 total chances. He was also in the middle of 46 double plays this season.
“Watson has started all 55 games this season at second base for Kansas City, batting second or third in the lineup in every contest. Among active players, Watson was second in the league in hitting with a .351 average and third with 43 RBI. Watson also added eight home runs this season, matching a career high which he set last season in 95 games. He was acknowledged for his efforts by earning the vote as the starting second baseman for the I-29 All-Stars in the 2008 Northern League All-Star Game.
“The second-bagger was drafted by the Detroit Tigers out of Oklahoma State University in the 17th round of the 2002 draft. He played in the Tigers system for two seasons before getting traded to the San Diego Padres organization in March of 2004.
“Mahar, 27, was also named to the all-star team. He was hitting .297 and, like Watson, had played in all 55 games this season for the T-Bones. After seeing his average dip to a season low .233 on June 19, he hit safely in 14 of his next 15 games. For the month of July, Mahar has been one of the T-Bones hottest hitters, hitting .352 on the month. For the season, he has upped his average to .297. He was also second on the team among active players with nine home runs while driving in 27 runs.
“Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2004 by the Texas Rangers, Mahar got called up to the major league club in just his fourth season with the organization.
“Both players are expected to arrive today in Clearwater for physicals before joining the Clearwater Threshers. Mahar and Watson are the second and third T-Bones to be signed by a major league organization during the 2008 season and fouth and fifth from the NL. The previous three were Brad Correll (Royals), Drew Shetrone (Yankees) and Freddie Thon (White Sox).”
