Happy Holaday!

2014 Topps Update #US117

On Tuesday, the Phillies not only added a starting pitcher to their 2017 roster with the acquisition of Clay Buchholz, they also increased by one the number of their official non-roster invitees.  Feel the excitement!

Catcher Bryan Holaday joins the ranks, and he'll compete with Andrew Knapp to be the back-up to Cameron Rupp in 2017.  Holaday appeared in 44 games last season for the Rangers and Red Sox, hitting .231 wtih a pair of home runs and 14 RBIs.
