prospects rewarded

The Phillies announced Friday morning that they are taking seven minor league players with them for the 2 games with Toronto at Philadelphia Friday night and Saturday afternoon.

They are RHP Jason Anderson
RHP Matt Childers
OF Greg Golson
IF Joe Hammond
C Lou Marson
LHP Brian Mazzone
RHP Will Savage

Suiting up for the preseason finale Sunday in Allentown are Marson,
SS Jason Donald
RHP Carlos Carrasco
RHP Pat Overholt
RHP Ron Hill


The Phillies also complicated things by signing free agent pitcher Tim Lahey off waviers from the Cubs. By my count, that fills the roster for opening day. They also sent Ray Olmedo and Chris Snelling to AAA, which overcrowds the IronPigs roster. They then signed free agent Chris Woodward, and assigned him to minor league camp.

There are obviously more cuts coming.

There are 6 days until opening night in Lakewood.
