Denorfia, originally a 19th rounder in 2002 by Cincinnati, saw more action than ever before last year and he responded with decent numbers across the board. As usual, hee provided a bit of speed and improved his success rate to the point where he’s actually helping instead of hurting his team on the basepaths.
