Mark Canha (1B/OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo leagues

ANALYSIS: Canha has likely been on and off many fantasy teams so far this season. However, he makes for an interesting add because of his dual position eligibility, and because he has brought some speed to the table.

Let's not confuse him for his teammate Billy Burns, but Canha has actually stolen 5 bases. Given that he's only ever maxed out at 7 steals in the minors, this comes a little bit out of left field. With eight HR and 25 RBI to this point, he could be a solid UTIL player or bench bat to own in a lot of leagues. His slash line is nothing spectacular at .247/.319/.432, but it's by no means terrible either. Over his last seven games, Canha is batting .368, with one HR, 4 R, 3 RBI, and 2 SB.

Canha is only worth starting vs. right handed pitchers. He has a .955 OPS vs. righties compared to a .365 vs. lefties. In deeper leagues though, he could be a solid starter if you have someone to sub in for him when he sits.
