4 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. Fantasy managers dig the long ball, but Canha's real value lies in the walks as he now has 26 walks (and 10 hit-by-pitches) against only 40 strikeouts this season. His .388 on-base percentage ranks 21st among all hitters as he's been everything the A's want in a leadoff hitter. Canha's on-base ability has led to six steals and 38 runs scored in only 47 games. Canha will look to keep the good times rolling with two more good matchups against the back-half of the Mariners' pitching staff.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
