Coghlan Joins Ranks of Non-Roster Invitees

2016 Topps Update #US274
Outfielder Chris Coghlan was signed by the Phillies on Friday to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.  Coghlan has a decent chance of making the team's opening day roster as a back-up outfielder.  The 2009 National League Rookie of the Year while with the Marlins, Coghlan earned a World Series ring last season with the Cubs.  In 99 games with both the Cubs and Athletics, he hit .188 with 6 home runs and 30 RBIs.

Strangely enough, Coghlan's most recent mainstream baseball card can be found within the 2016 Topps Update set showing him with the Cubs although he already had a card within the first series of the flagship set also showing him with the Cubs.  Wrigley Wax covered this oddity in a post here. Coghlan also appeared in last year's Topps Heritage set.

Here's hoping you get the 2015 edition of Cogs, rather than the 2016 version! Also, if you look at his recent Topps cards, you'd think the guy was a perennial Gold Glover.

I noticed that about Topps' use of amazing catch photography for his recent cards. The outfield is getting crowded and I wonder if Coghlan is seen as Triple-A depth at this point.
