He hugged his teammates, shook hands with the coaching staff and walked away from the team. Watson is leaving the River Cats to play in Japan. His departure is not likely to become official until Wednesday, but he was not in the lineup for Friday's 12-3 loss to the RedHawks. He returned to Sacramento before leaving for Japan. "This is something that I've wanted for a while," said Watson, who leads the team in RBIs (28), home runs (five), doubles (eight) and slugging percentage (.516). "I've been bouncing around the minors for seven, eight years now. So I'm looking forward to going over there." Watson, 27, said he has never been to Japan and admitted to being scared. In the United States, he has played for three major-league organizations and eight minor-league affiliates. Watson played in only 34 big-league games since being selected by the Montreal Expos in the 16th round of the 2002 free-agent draft. But Watson has flourished in the Pacific Coast League since the A's claimed him off waivers before the 2004 season. In his first two seasons, Watson finished either first or second on the club in batting, doubles, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. "Watson's a tough guy to lose," River Cats manager Tony DeFrancesco said. "That's a guy who's been around here three years with me and has no doubt been the team MVP the last couple of years. But he's getting an opportunity over in Japan, and we're going to have to fill his shoes real quick." Watson is batting .317. Mark Kiger replaced Watson in right field Friday night and went 1 for 4. --
