| 2011 Topps #554 |
Hunter spent all of last season with the Braves Triple-A club in Gwinnett, hitting .283 in 138 games with 12 home runs and 77 RBIs. His sole big league experience in his 10 year professional career came in 2011 when he appeared in six games for the Padres.
With the addition of Hunter, the camp headcount now stands at 54. Also of note is the fact that the Phillies, earlier than ever, have assigned new uniform numbers to the herd of new additions joining the roster so far this offseason. Every player except Hunter has been assigned a uniform number per the Phillies website. I'll have a post up soon looking at the uniform number assignments.

I imagine that Cedric Hunter would be the first Cedric in Phillies History, and a quick search on baseball-reference.com would seem to bear that out. All the more reason to root for Mr. Hunter.
No matter what happens with Cedric, there will be a BUNCH of new Phillies players this year receiving their first Chachi cards.
