Updated - 2:50 p.m. (includes Carpenter and Villarreal)

By our count, the Phillies currently have 59 players scheduled to attend spring training, which begins on Feb. 18 when pitchers and catchers hold their first workouts. Last year, 63 players were on the roster when spring training began. The Phillies are still looking to add a veteran lefty reliever on a minor league contract, some depth for the rotation, and perhaps another bullpen arm or two. I could also see them bringing in a veteran right-handed bat on a minor league contract, should one happen to fall into their laps.

But the 2010 Opening Day roster will almost certainly be comprised of 25 of the following names. Over the course of the week, we'll break down some of the subplots to keep your eyes on, particularly in the early days of spring training before the Grapefruit League schedule begins.

For now, though, here is a look at a rough depth chart for the start of spring training. Included is the age the player either has turned or will turn in 2010. I've broken each position down into categories:

LOCK: Player is assured a spot on the Opening Day (or soon thereafter) roster

LIKELY: Player will likely be on the Opening Day (or soon thereafter) roster

CONTENDER: Player will have a serious opportunity to earn a roster spot in spring training.

DOWN THE ROAD: Player won't be on Opening Day roster, but could contribute later in the season thanks to injury.

INVENTORY: Non-prospect likely to begin season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

MAYBE IN '11: Player is still a prospect who likely will spend entire year in minors.

INJURY QUESTION: Player enters spring training with a pre-existing injury that could sideline him for at least the first few weeks of the season.
