The four Chachi Almost cards at the top of the post are for players who won't be suiting up for the Phillies in 2017. Jesmuel Valentin had his season cut short with surgery to repair his separated shoulder. Pitchers Dalier Hinojosa and Mario Hollands were released from their minor league contracts while Taylor Featherston was traded to the Rays. I also wanted to pay a final Phillies Room tribute to Joely Rodriguez who was the first (of many?) casualties from the 2017 Phillies bullpen as the lefty was designated for assignment and ultimately traded to the Rangers.
