Guess who’s coming to Spring Training?
By egrissom | December 19, 2007
The Phillies have invited 19 non-roster players to Spring Training, including Joe Savery, Josh Outman, Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson, Greg Golson and Val Pascucci.
Barring an injury, I don’t think any of the position players among the non-roster invitees have much of a chance. The pitching is a different story and it seems possible that Outman or his fellow non-roster invitees, including Vic Darensbourg, Gary Knotts and Brian Mazone, would have an opportunity to pitch themselves into the mix.
The article linked above also says that the Phils have agreed on a 2008 contract with Pete LaForest.
The IronPigs will play their first game in their new stadium against the Phillies on March 30.
Some of the early reviews on Ed Wade’s job in Houston are kind of brutal.
Matt Wise signed with the Mets.
Ryan Howard and Jared are apparently a good combination for Subway.
This article suggests that Dallas McPhearson and the Giants are not close to a deal.
Philliesflow will be seldom-if-ever updated until the first week of January.

Get a good look at Carrasco, Savery and Outman. They may be the future of this team. I hope they don’t get traded, that is, unless, the deal is right.
Carassco is young but he has been making great progression for his age.
Savery has a lot of poise and he is eager to win. I like his work-hard and stay positive attitude, and that is translating into success as of late.
I may be ignorant but I am still unfamiliar with Outman. but I am eager to see what all 3 of these can do during Spring Training!
