With most of the attention focused on their burgeoning young stars, Chicago Cubs outfielder Chris Denorfia doesn’t command the spotlight all too often.
However, if he continues to hit like he has during his first 61 at-bats of the season, Denorfia’s name will begin to appear more frequently in media reports. He is beginning the process of resurrecting his career in Chicago, but is it enough to keep him around for more than one season?
The 34-year-old veteran has been in the Majors for 10 seasons, so perhaps his hot start is being ignored because most people expect his numbers to eventually plateau back towards his career averages.
