It’s that time
Ah yes, the dream of spring. With a major winter storm barreling down on the Philadelphia area this weekend, thoughts of Clearwater are most welcome. The Phillies have obliged by giving us their list of non-roster invitees that will make the trek to spring training.
Lots of interesting names here. Justin Crawford and Aidan Miller stand out (note: Crawford is not on the 40-man, hence the invite) as ones that have a shot at making the major league team, Crawford a near lock to be in the Opening Day lineup.
Here is the full list of names:
Pitchers: Génesis Cabrera, Tucker Davidson, Tim Mayza, Andrew Walling, Andrew Bechtold, Jonathan Hernández, Michael Mercado, Trevor Richards, Bryse Wilson
Catchers: Kehden Hettiger, Mark Kolozsvary, Paul McIntosh, René Pinto, Caleb Ricketts
Infielders/Outfielders: Keaton Anthony, Christian Cairo, Carson DeMartini, Aroon Escobar, Aidan Miller, Liover Peguero, Bryan Rincon, José Rodríguez, Felix Reyes, Dylan Campbell, Justin Crawford, Bryan De La Cruz, Dante Nori
