JAKE BLALOCK

2005 Most Valuable Player

Though not flashy or showy, Jake showed a steady contribution to the Clearwater Threshers the entire season. He ended the season leading the team in six different statistical categories including hits, RBIs, and On-Base-Percentage.

SCOTT MATHIESON

Though Scott finished the year with a losing record, he had a terrific presence on the mound, and left the games with a lead many times that was blown by the bullpen or by lack of run support. Scott was second on the team in innings pitched and finished the year with an impressive strike out to walk ration of nearly 4:1. Scott never seemed satisfied even with his best performances, and that is an attitude that is sure to keep his development rolling in the right direction.

NICK EVANGELISTA

Nick was a rock out of the bullpen all year for the team. He earned the respect of all of his teammates as well as the fans, and when he took the hill you knew that something good was going to happen. He ended the year with the team's lowest ERA, and the most wins of any pitcher.

BRYAN HANSEN

Though there was a mixed reaction from the ladies to the mustache he grew towards the end of the year, Bryan's Pat Burrell-esque good looks were enough to put him over the top in this year's Mr. Photogenic voting. Despite missing the first third of the season due to injury, Bryan's on-field performance was solid as well. He showed steady progress in his hitting, and finished the season strong.

TIM MOSS

Tim really made a name for himself in the Phillies organization with his performance this season. He was the only Threshers player chosen to the Florida State League All-Star Team and finished the season leading the team in seven offensive categories, including Home Runs, Doubles, and Stolen Bases. Tim was also named player of the game twelve times, more than any other player on the team.

BRAD CORRELL

With his positive attitude and a bit of cockiness Brad came into every game looking to make things happen. His terrific personality has made him a fan favorite this entire year, and his effort on the field has earned the fan's respect. Only Tim Moss and Jake Blalock appeared in more games this year than Brad, and he finished the year third on the team in batting average and slugging percentage.

JAKE BLALOCK

For the same reasons that Jake was named the team MVP the fans voted him this year's "Bright Future" award. Good luck Jake, whereever the future takes you!.

MARC TUGWELL

Marc had a terrific season and a great first-half of the year. At the All-Star break Marc had the highest batting average in the entire Florida State League, and had been a solid contributor to the Threshers playing three different positions. Unfortunately he was overlooked for the All-Star team and missed out on a well deserved honor. For the year Marc remained in the league's top ten in hitting and finished as his team's leader in batting average. Congratulations Marc on a season well played!

BRIAN SELLIER

Brian was a late addition to the Threshers' roster this year, and he got off to a very slow start. Down the stretch he really turned things on and when he came to the plate the fans and his teammates knew that something good could happen anytime. He ended the year tied for first on the team in Doubles, and was second on the team in Home Runs, and Slugging Percentage, and was named the player of the game nine times this season.

GREG ISAACSON

On July 26, 2005 with the Threshers up 2-0 in the sixth inning the Jupiter Hammerheads were threatening with runners at first and second and no outs. The player at the plate tapped a beautiful bunt. As the first baseman charged the bunt Greg rushed to cover first, but the throw from the catcher was high and he was forced to jump to attempt a catch. The runner coming to first barrelled into Greg and the two Hammerheads base runners raced for home to tie the game. Though he had fallen face first into the dirt after being crushed by the base runner, Greg had the presence of mind to leap to his feet and chase down the errant throw. He sent the ball sailing towards the plate just in time to get out the second runner and help the team secure a 2-1 victory.

OMAR BRAMASCO

Though an infielder by trade Omar had a shining moment as a pitcher on May 2, 2005 when he came on in the final inning of the game. He proceeded to strike out two batters, and gave up no hits to become the only Threshers pitcher at the time with a perfect 0.00 ERA. The Threshers lost the game 11-3, but Omar's terrific effort made the game worth witnessing.
