Just One Card - 2000s Phillies Edition (Part Two - 2005 to 2009)

2005 Phillies Team Issue #33

2009 Phillies Team Issue Update #23

Having tackled the Phillies players of the 1980s and 1990s to have never before appeared on a Phillies baseball card, I'm now going to turn my attention to the decade of the 2000s.  I started the Chachi custom baseball card sets in 2005, so the players from 2005 onwards have already appeared (at least in virtual form) on a Phillies baseball card.  But I'll still pay tribute to those players with an official Missing Links card.

By my tally, and I'll readily admit up front that I could be wrong, there were 34 players who suited up for the Phillies between 2000 and 2009 who never appeared on a Phillies baseball card.  But before we get to those 34 players, here are the players who just missed the cut having appeared on exactly one baseball card as a member of the Phillies.  (This is part two, and part one appears here.)

2009 Chachi #20 Jack Taschner

WANTED: A decent picture of Jack Taschner in a Phillies' uniform. I am embarrassed by the current state of Jack's card and this situation will not be tolerated. Do not let this travesty continue.

Phillies debut: April 5, 2009
Major League debut: June 11, 2005
Former team: San Francisco Giants 2005-2008
How acquired: Acquired from the San Francisco Giants for Ronny Paulino, March 27, 2009
Pictured: 2009 Spring Training action with the Giants

UPDATE, April 17: Jack had a rough night last night, giving up 4 runs to the Nationals in the 8th inning. The updated picture shows Jack in a state of dismay and confusion as he watched his ERA rise to 9.00 against the lowly Nationals. More specifically, Jack is probably thinking, "I hope this picture isn't used for my 2009 Chachi card". I'm still holding out for a better picture, possibly from the 2009 Yearbook.

UPDATE, May 25: The Googles have led me to a better picture to use for Jack Taschner's 2009 Chachi card. This shot is apparently from Jack's appearance on May 13, 2009.
