Who is on the 2016 Phillies Calendar?
It’s that time of year, when the Phillies mail out their calendars to ticket-holders. You can usually get a feel for where the Phillies’ heads are at for the upcoming season by which players they feature in the annual calendar.
The players that are a given to make the calendar are Maikel Franco, Aaron Nola, Ken Giles, and Phanatic. After that, it was a crapshoot.
Here’s a breakdown followed by photos of each month.

Cody Asche, Adam Morgan, Cesar Hernandez, Freddy Galvis are now calendar worthy. Geesh. I guess it’s safe to assume the second base position is Cesar’s to lose heading into Spring Training.
Sadly, Carlos Ruiz is not even worthy of a solo page as he shares it with Cameron Rupp.
