Pitchers and catchers are already doing their thing down in Clearwater, Florida. The skipper has been down there since Feb. 1. And even though position players weren't due to arrive for another four days, almost the whole Philadelphia Phillies team has already shown up.

"They're raring to go, they've done a lot of work in the offseason," manager Rob Thomson said Friday morning on CBS News Philadelphia.

Over a video call from Clearwater with our anchors, Thomson talked about the changes the team made this offseason, adding a few key players like shortstop Trea Turner and a slate of new bullpen arms.
