Extended Spring Training Roster

by

Jim Peyton has posted up the first Extended Spring Training roster for the Phillies.  Before getting into the specific players, it looks like the Phillies have brought over a lot of latin players (16 Dominican Republic, 22 Venezuela, 2 Panamá, 2  Columbia, 1 Mexico).  The number of players from Venezuela is bit surprising and I wonder whether it is related to the political situation there.  Also the lack of high school signings in the draft last year has reduced the potential young Americans in camp.

Here is the roster:

Lewis Alezones
Luis Benitez

  1. Matt —

    Can the Venezuelans go home and play in the VSL and still have their six year clocks delayed, or does XST count as a stateside league for service-time purposes?

    • It all counts towards free agency (and Rule 5). I can’t remember the exact rule, but the amount of years before going to full season can be used in the petition for a 4th minor league option

      • I think this is the rule that applies
        MLR 5(c)
        (c) PLAYERS SUBJECT TO SELECTION. All players on the Minor League Reserve Lists of Major League and Minor League Clubs, except players on the Voluntarily Retired, Disqualified or Ineligible Lists, shall be subject to selection by other Major League Clubs at the Rule 5 Selection Meeting in accordance with the following:
        (1) A player without previous Major or Minor League service who signs with a Major League or independent Minor League Club shall be subject to selection based on the following:
        (A) if 18 years of age or under on the June 5 immediately preceding the player’s signing, the player shall be subject to selection at the fifth Rule 5 Selection Meeting that follows the signing date of the player’s first Major or Minor League contract, unless Rule 5(c)(1)(C) applies;
        (B) if 19 years of age or over on the June 5 immediately preceding the player’s signing, the player shall be subject to selection at the fourth Selection Meeting that follows the signing date of the player’s first Major or Minor League contract, unless Rule 5(c)(1)(C) applies;
        (C) if the signing date of a player’s first Major or Minor League contract is between
        (i) the conclusion of the championship season for the Major or Minor League Club to which the player is assigned on such contract and
        (ii) the next Rule 5 Selection Meeting,
        then the player shall be deemed to have signed after the next Rule 5 Selection Meeting, for purposes of this Rule 5(c)(1).

  2. Jhon Nunez is an enigma.
    It was first reported bt Jim Salisbury last August, he was signed out of Panama, after the Gamboa and the Brito signings, as a 6’3″ LHP.
    Then he was listed as a 6′ pitcher.
    Now when you click on his name above he is a 5’9″ catcher.
    I give up!
