Working hard for his money
Denorfia has found success by never slowing down
By Brian Bennett
The Courier-Journal
click here for the restChris Denorfia never had to look far to learn the value of hard work.
His father, Tony, has worked two jobs for as long as Chris can remember. You think your week is busy? Tony Denorfia is a partner in a Connecticut law firm and a contractor who builds up to 20 houses a year.
No son of Tony Denorfia was going to grow up a loafer. The father made sure of that, enlisting Chris in a variety of teenage summer jobs, shipping him everywhere from construction sites to office cubicles.
But only one career track appealed to Chris: baseball.
"Nothing else ever really made me want to get up in the morning and go do it," he said. "I can't wait to get up every morning and play baseball."
Chris employed his father's roll-up-your-sleeves values to establish himself as a rising prospect for the Cincinnati Reds. The Louisville Bats outfielder and reigning Reds minor league Player of the Year has already enjoyed two brief major league stints, and a permanent big-league promotion could come any day.
Everyone in the Reds' organization raves about Denorfia, 25, echoing the same sentiments whenever his name is mentioned.
Per Lancaster Blog:
MILWAUKEE -- The rehab assignment clock on Paul Wilson will start ticking Wednesday when the right-hander pitches in Dayton against Peoria, a Cubs affiliate.
At that point, barring any further setbacks, Wilson will have to be returned from the assignment within 30 days. I imagine he's due for at least a handful of starts somewhere in the farm system as his velocity continues to return, but how long Wilson remains on rehab may ultimately depend on whether or not Dave Williams can figure out his problems.
