Baseball draft tomorrow

Clearwater Threshers of the future will be drafted starting tomorrow (Thursday, June 7) and Friday at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.

The draft starts at 2pm and the first round will be televised for the first time ever on ESPN2. MLB.com will have the entire draft. Look for Lee McDaniel (Assistant Director, Minor League Operations/Florida) to man the phone for the Phillies at Disney.

The Phillies have the 19th pick in the first round.

Last Five Phillies Top Picks
2006 - Kyle Drabek (Lakewood)
2005 - Former Thresher Mike Costanzo (now with Reading)
2004 - Current Thresher Greg Golson
2003 - Former Thresher Tim Moss
2002 - Former Thresher Cole Hamels (now with Philadelphia Phillies)

Who do you think the Phillies should take with their first pick?

How long do you think it will take this first pick to make it to the Threshers roster?

Former Thresher Tim Moss released by Phillies

Was just reading Todd Zolecki's Phillies Notes column from the Philadelphia Inquirer from April 3rd and saw that former Thresher Tim Moss has been released from the Phillies organization.

Moss spent the entire 2005 season as well as half of the 2006 season with the Threshers before getting called up to Reading (AA).

Updated just a few minutes later: I completely forgot to post the good news in that same article. It's old news now, but in case you missed it, former Thresher Joe Bisenius was added to the Phillies 25-man roster.

Ramos and Sellier promoted to Reading/Moss returning to Clearwater

Clearwater Threshers' infielder Peeter Ramos' All-Star Weekend got even better, as he was promoted after the game to the Reading (AA) Phillies. OF Brian Sellier will be joining Ramos on the trip up north.

Speaking of All-Stars; Tim Moss will be returning to the Threshers' roster today, hopefully in time for the game tonight in Sarasota. Moss was the lone Threshers representative at the 2005 FSL All-Star Game which was played at Bright House Networks Field.
