In a season where the San Francisco Giants have been officially eliminated from the playoffs in mid-September, the veteran lefty has been a bright spot for the team. In fact, you can make an argument that Holland should win the Comeback Player of the Year award.
The Giants signed Holland to a minor league contract in February and assigned him to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, the team’s AA affiliate, a month later. But with the injuries to Samardzija and Bumgarner at the start of the season, Holland made the Opening Day roster.
Holland has been a hard-throwing lefty with the Texas Rangers before he joined the Chicago White Sox as a free agent in 2017.
