Marlins lose 1B Mark Canha to Rockies....sign of things to come???

 

 

Marlins pick up LHP Andrew McKirahan from Cubs in draft

 

 

There is Jennings' replacement in the pen

 

 

Bummer (but expected) about Canha

 

 

I like this guy.

He'll put up nice numbers in Denver, but it isn't a huge loss.

 

 

 

 

Matthew Tomshaw was the AAA pick

 

 

Canha is being passed around like he's Heaney or something

 

 

 

 

 

That pisses me off.

 

 

Final Results of the Rule V Draft:

 

Marlins pickup: LHP Andrew McKirahan (White Sox - MLB phase); Matthew Tomshaw (Minnesota - Triple A Phase); 1B Harold Riggins (Reds) and LHP Alex Burgos (Tigers)

 

Marlins lose: 1B/3B Mark Canha (Rockies, later traded to Oakland); RHP Ramon Del Obre (San Francisco); RHP Jheyson Manzueta (Detroit); SS Hiram Martinez (Texas)

 

 

Mark Canha in Colorado should be nice to watch. He's a good hitter who was never given a real shot, always reminded me of Gaby Sanchez in our system...

Mark Canha in Oakland should be nice to watch. Billy Beane knows when to acquire talent and Canha is just that.

 

 

Canha is being called a "limited ceiling but ready to play now first baseman"

 

Seems like we could have used one of those, huh?

While Canha has played 1B a lot I've always thought his numbers had more value at 3B with the occasional ability to play one of the corner outfield positions. While defensively he's best at 1B, I feel like that's a waste of his talent.

 

 

Really whether he'll amount to anything,I don't get letting him go. We have no 1b depth in the system and our current starter isn't very good. I feel like it's not that big a stretch for him to become Gaby Sanchez, who was useful for a year or two.

A's just adds Mark Canha to 2015 Opening day roster.

 

He collected 13 rbi with team-leading 6 homers, .297/.342/.635 thru ST.

 

Now LF Crisp went to DL, so Canha will start a LF offen.

Marlins pick up LHP Andrew McKirahan from Cubs in draft (pitching for Atlanta)

 

Mark Canha - He hit .297 with 6 hrs 13 rbi this spring for the A's

 

 

The Braves will not be competing this year, they have the room to keep a guy like McKirahan on the roster all season and let him deal with his lumps at the big league level.

 

 

Letting Canha go was dumb.

​yep, and this isn't a hindsight thing. It was really dumb at the time too.
