2015 Chachi Checklist is Live!

2014 Chachi #73
With the final Phillies roster moves announced this afternoon, the first 33 cards in the 2015 Chachi set have been revealed on the set's official checklist page.  Who's ready for Jeff Francoeur's first unofficial Phillies card?  Who's been waiting weeks to finally see Jeanmar Gomez in red pinstripes on virtual cardboard?  Who among us hasn't spent time daydreaming about finally gazing upon an Odubel Herrera Phillies card?  Our wait is almost over.

Featured above is the checklist from the 2014 Chachi set, which borrowed the 1988 Topps design.  I've featured a number of cards from the various 2015 Chachi insert sets already, but the official cards will debut shortly after opening day and will use the colorful 1985 Topps design.

This post will also serve to wrap up the final transactions made on Easter Sunday to parse the roster down to the required 25 players.

Final Camp Head Count:  28 + 1 - 4 = 25.  As reported Saturday night, Dustin McGowan was officially signed and will join the Phillies bullpen.  He joins non-roster invitees Francoeur and Andres Blanco who also officially made the opening day roster.

Outfielder Jordan Danks was optioned to Lehigh Valley, while Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Pettibone and Mario Hollands will start the season on the disabled list.  Hollands was placed on the 60-day disabled list, opening up the needed 40-man roster spot.

Here's a final run-down of the team's off-season moves, although I'll add to this list if any of the other offseason non-roster invitee signings eventually make their way up to the big club.
