With less than two months until Spring Training begins and after re-signing shortstop Jimmy Rollins, the Philadelphia Phillies’ 2012 roster has begun to take shape.
After rebuilding the team’s bench and adding two relief pitchers to the bullpen, the Phillies appear ready to make a run at their sixth-consecutive National League East title.
However, not every player who begins Spring Training with the Phils will make the team’s opening day roster.
Only 25 players will make the trip from Clearwater to face the Pittsburgh Pirates when the team opens the 2012 season; with some players having better chances than others to make the trip.
