Denorfia has done nothing.we gave Denorfia away for nada, zip, zilch, nothing.
I'm not a great one to defend Wayne Krivsky but I do think we also got Ben Jukich in that trade and he may yet redeem it somewhat. Frankly if you want to look at Krivsky giveaways whom we could have used, I'd put Cody Ross, Jorge Cantu, and Brendan Harris way ahead of Denorfia.
Because it's a RedsZone tradition. It's always been about Denorfia, Hatteberg, Freel, Boussard, and Cameron. Mediocre players at best.
Yep, when the Reds need a 30HR 100 RBI man, we still lust after .260 hitting, 50 RBI guys that play good defense behind a mediocre to bad pitching staff.
Go figure.

The Denorfia trade was about the cash (over two million dollars). Not much is expected of the players to be named later, including Jukich (even though he might have the organization's best curveball). Jukich still has a chance to surprise people and produce for the Reds down the line, but I wouldn't count on him being anything more than a LOOGY.
For the record, this year, the 28-year-old-should-be-in-his-prime Chris Denorfia is OPSing .639 for Oakland (50 at-bats) and .711 between A+ and AAA (155 at-bats). He has been a big disappointment for them so far.
Dewayne Wise would look better than Denorfia right now.
The misfortune of injury derailed Chris Denorfia.
I was one of Deno's biggist fans, before his injury he was the best defensive outfielder in our entire organization, He had a good OBP and speed.
I had more faith in Chris Denorfia than I ever had in Drew Stubbs.
Denorfia had TJ surgery. It's in no way career-derailing for a hitter. Janish has had it, too.
