I don't think he'll be a star...and I'm not entirely sure he's really a starter (though I'd like to find out), but at minimum he should be a very good 4th outfielder. -jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-1143400720326483472006-03-26T14:18:00.000-05:002006-03-26T14:18:00.000-05:00I hope Denorfia gets a shot again with the team la...I hope Denorfia gets a shot again with the team later this year. He's not that young (25) anymore - it's getting to the point where they should give him an extended look (300 PAs) to see if he can handle the Show, which I think he can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-1143344153596546402006-03-25T22:35:00.000-05:002006-03-25T22:35:00.000-05:00A good question.

So he certainly should be Rule-5 eligible when that time comes...though that doesn't happen until wintertime. Perhaps a strong season in AAA will get him back on the radar--if not for the Reds, perhaps for another team. -jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-1143329992645140112006-03-25T18:39:00.000-05:002006-03-25T18:39:00.000-05:00one good question is will the reds put bong on the...one good question is will the reds put bong on the 40 man or can another team take him if they don't protect himAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
