The Phillies are in a state of flux. They’re finally transitioning out of their big-name era and into their young-prospect rebuilding era. With that comes an incursion of players that we have never heard of. Is Roman Quinn a pro wrestler? Is Tyler Goeddel a Dutch windmill technician? Is Colton Murray that kid who will eventually bully your son in middle school? Nope, they’re all members of the Phillies’ 40-man roster.

Knowing who these guys are is a challenge. Plus, there are another 25 players who are non-roster Spring Training invitees. We’d like to test your knowledge.

Below is a list of 20 people, some are Phillies, some are not. Mark down who you think is and who isn’t, check your answers after the jump, and calculate (and tweet us) your score. Is using non-roster Spring Training invitees here kind of cheap? Yeah, but I make the rules, so shut up.
