A few weeks after I starting blogging here in 2009, I posted a summary of the 1967 Phillies roster on this blog.Recently, I noticed that Baseball-Reference.com includes (for each team and season) a chart of the player roster and how many games each man played per position. Using that information, I have come up with sort of a depth-chart below. In each section, a dotted line separates the "main players" from the others.
As an added bonus, for the first two columns only:
yellow indicates the player has a Phillies card in this year's set
orange indicates the player is on a Rookie Stars card in this year's set
blue indicates the player has a non-Phillies card in this year's set
white indicates no card in this year's set
Notice that 2nd baseman Cookie Rojas pitched in one game, and pitcher Larry Jackson was used as a pinch-runner 3 times.
Had a Phillies card this year, but was not on the team: Terry Fox
In-season moves:
4/10 - Bill White begins the season on the disabled list.
4/10 - Purchased Tito Francona from the Cardinals.
4/21 - Dick Groat placed on disabled list. Bill White activated from DL.
5/08 - Purchased Turk Farrell from the Astros. Released Ruben Gomez.
5/16 - Released Bob Buhl.
5/31 - Recalled John Boozer from AAA.
6/05 - Released Pedro Ramos.
6/06 - Traded Bob Uecker to the Braves for Gene Oliver.
6/09 - Sold Jackie Brandt to the Astros.
6/09 - Reactivated Dick Groat from disabled list.
6/12 - Sold Tito Francona to the Braves.
Late-June - Recalled Dallas Green from AA.
6/22 - Sold Dick Groat to the Giants. Recalled Billy Cowan from AAA.
7/11 - Traded Phil Linz to the Mets for Chuck Hiller.
8/24 - Richie Allen lost for the season with a wrist injury.
8/24 - Recalled Rick Joseph from AAA.
9/22 - Released Dallas Green.
I am planning to do this for each Phillies team from 1966 to 1969, then we'll see where it goes from there.

Rojas also caught a game.
Three games, actually. (See the chart.)
My comment was only pointing out where non-pitchers pitched, and where pitchers did non-pitcher things. (As we will soon see in the 1968 post, Larry Jackson was used as a pinch-hitter AND pinch-runner. And Grant Jackson was used as a pinch-runner multiple times.)
