The loss of Mark Canha truly hurts the Oakland A’s. Not only have they lost their leadoff hitter, but they have lost a player who could be considered the best defensive left fielder in the game. His ability to play all three spots in the outfield, as well as his ability to get on base and solid power, will make him difficult to replace.
