Yesterday was a great day for several former BlueClaws, as the Phillies announced that 13 players have earned non-roster invitations to spring training, which opens in a few weeks.  (with Lakewood)

• Domonic Brown (2008)…the organization’s top prospect, who spent last year in Clearwater and Reading. The Phillies would not, and did not, trade him in the Halladay deal.
• Freddy Galvis (2008)…fielding wizard hit .247 with Clearwater last year before finishing the season with Reading.
• Tuffy Gosewisch (2007)…catcher finished up his 3rd Arizona Fall League appearance this year, and while he wasn’t added to the 40-man roster, he will get to go to big league camp. Read our Q&A with Gosewisch here.
• BJ Rosenberg (2009, pictured)…best closer in the SAL this year and he accomplished the rare feat of skipping Clearwater, after an August promotion straight to Reading, where he finished the season. He had a 28.1 consecutive scoreless inning streak with the BlueClaws to end his tenure here.

Quintin Berry (2007) and Jesus Sanchez (2009) will also get to go to big league camp, as they were added to the 40-man roster in November, along with Yohan Flande.

Other non-roster invitees include former first-round pick Joe Savery, plus Phillipe Aumont and Tyson Gilles who came over from Seattle in the Cliff Lee trade (read our Q&A with Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times here).
