I think Golson was on the 40-man roster, actually. I know he was called up last year and went 0-for-6.
Also, the Phils added a few guys to their 40-man roster, including their best pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco. Although he's got a lot to prove in spring training, the Phillies rotation will be fantastic next year if we re-sign Moyer and Carrasco is ready to go as the #4 or #5.
As far as replacing Utley during the early part of the season, I'd think that Bruntlett/Jason Donald will platoon the position until Chase is ready to come back.
