Phillies Assign Several To Minor League Camp

According to The Daily News and probably just about everyone else who covers the team.

"Righthanders Joe Bisenius and Scott Mathieson, lefthander J.A. Happ and Australian infielder Brad Harman were optioned.

Re-assigned to minor league camp were righthanders Ron Chiavacci and Zack Segovia; lefthanders Brian Mazone and first-round pick Joe Savery; catchers Tuffy Gosewisch and Lou Marson; infielders Jason Donald, Mike Cervenak and Andy Tracy; and outfielder Valentino Pascucci."

I'm assuming the difference between being optioned and re-assigned has to do with being on the 40 man roster or not. Here's who remains in big league camp:

Pitchers:
Kris Benson
Travis Blackley
Carlos Carrasco
Fabio Castro
Clay Condrey
Vic Darensbourg
Chad Durbin
J.D. Durbin
Adam Eaton
Tom Gordon
Cole Hamels
Lincoln Holdzkom
Kyle Kendrick
Gary Knotts
Brad Lidge
Ryan Madson
Jamie Moyer
Brett Myers
Josh Outman
J.C. Romero
Francisco Rosario
Matt Smith
Shane Youman
Mike Zagurski

Catchers:
Chris Coste
Tim Gradoville
Jason Jaramillo
Pete Laforest
Carlos Ruiz

Infielders:
Eric Bruntlett
Greg Dobbs
Pedro Feliz
Wes Helms
Ryan Howard
Brennan King
Ray Olmedo
Jimmy Rollins
Casey Smith
Chase Utley

Outfielders:
T.J. Bohn
Pat Burrell
Greg Golson
Geoff Jenkins
Chris Snelling
So Taguchi
Shane Victorino
Brandon Watson
Jayson Werth

That leaves 48 guys still vying for 25 roster spots. Obviously, some of those guys are injured and haven't even appeared in games yet. A few of those guys have no shot at all. Nevertheless, that's where the Phillies stand in big league camp right now.
