*Florimon pulled a Louie Meadows on the Nick Williams card issued by Topps as part of their limited Topps Now MLB Players Weekend set.  That's clearly Florimon pictured on the Williams card.

First Mention on The Phillies Room:  December 13, 2016 - I get irrationally excited every offseason at the first announcement of the Phillies non-roster invitees to spring training . . .

Here are the first four of what will probably be a few dozen non-roster invitees to Clearwater beginning in February.
