Canha Get a Beer?

The Brewers acquire Mark Canha from the Mets in exchange for minor league pitcher Justin Jarvis:

“Mark brings a productive veteran bat and versatility to the roster as he can play both corner outfield spots and first base,” general manager Matt Arnold said. “He has valuable postseason experience, and we look forward to him being a major contributor for us down the stretch.”

Canha’s strength as a player is getting on base, and the Brewers are last in the NL with a team .312 OBP. Canha stands at .343 this season and .348 for his career. He should expand the Brewers offense, giving everyone else a few more plate appearances over the last two months of the season.

Jarvis pitched decently at AA, and at age 23 is trying his hand at AAA. It looks like he needs to get his walks under control.
