Steve Holm beat out two former SJ Giant teammates, Eliezer Alfonso and Guillermo Rodriguez for the backup catcher slot on the SF Giants roster. Eliezer battled a slump (.109) through the spring, while Steve hit a respectable .333 in 30 at bats. Guillermo was limited to just 17 at bats (.250) while fighting an injury. Congratulations Steve!
