40-MAN ROSTER
Pitchers
Elvis Araujo LHP
The rookie pitched his best after the all-star break until a groin injury prematurely ended his season.
Alec Asher RHP
He is the sort of pitcher who will become familiar with the roads between Philadelphia and Allentown.
David Buchanan RHP
A 2.01 ERA in his final four starts could not mask the gore. Buchanan's 6.99 ERA was the highest for a Phillies pitcher with at least 15 starts since 1930.
Jimmy Cordero RHP
He is mentioned as a potential future closer because he throws 100 mph, but the strikeout-to-walk ratio must improve.
