In 106 at-bats with Cincinnati last year, he batted .283 wth a homer and seven RBI.
April 3, 2007 Chris Denorfia underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right elbow, according to the AP. Denorfia is expected to need six months to recover, so he's pretty much a lock to miss the entire season.
