Note: There were some players who you might otherwise have expected to attend but will not be there. Usually, this is explained as players just coming off (or still participating in) winter ball seasons. That would include such guys as Paul Estrada, Juan Gutierrez and Felipe Paulino. The only truly surprising omission was Jimmy Barthmaier.
