Meet the new Phillies

We're just a few days away from the World Champions of Baseball resuming play. I know you remember all the regulars from last year (even little Carlos "game winning run" Ruiz) but here's a look at some of the new faces on the team to get you ready for 2009:

Traded from team, nevermind

Mike Koplove -- The Phils' AAA pitcher has a chance to make the
Sent back down, nevermind

Sean Jones -- This safety has the daunting task of

Carlos Carrasco -- He' a long-shot to make the team, but
