Denorfia was given every chance in the world this spring to earn the starting CF job, and he flat out didn't earn it. He played his way this spring to either the bench on the 25 man roster or starting in Louisville.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
I don't think he's going to make the Opening Day club, but the Reds can send him to AAA (only 3+ years of big-league time) because he's on a minor-league deal and not on the 40-man. He can't be optioned, though, lacking any of those years remaining. Sometimes these NRI contracts have out clauses, though, so we'll just have to find out if he has one.
I like the idea of trying him as a full-time reliever, though. He has a decent fastball and command but iffy everything else, which is a profile that fits relief better anyway.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
Wise rips one in the gap for a double... tie game! 7-7
I hope he gets the bench job on the 25-man roster as there will be plenty of at-bats for him...and he needs them....
I'd also love to be able to replace Dunn in the outfield for defensive purposes in late innings.

Ready for Hamilton to bring in the game winning run?
C'mon Natural... take this lead!
After a base hit by Deno and a stolen base, Wise doubles into the RCF alley to score the tying run! 7-7.
