One of the most exciting parts of spring training is getting to see some of the Phillies top prospects in big-league camp with the players they are expected to join in the future. Scott Kingery generated plenty of buzz in spring training last year as a non-roster invitee. He will get the chance to do so again this year.
The team announced Tuesday the group of eight prospects that will join the major-league squad during spring training as non-roster invitees. Notably not among the group was Mark Appel, who was removed from the 40-man roster this offseason and is expected to move to the bullpen.
