Travis Denker

Does anyone have any info on Travis Denker? Just wondering what his outlook is and when he may be expected to get a shot.

All he's got going is power and getting on base. The problem is he's 21 and in four professional seasons, hasn't gotten out of A ball. Unless you have an incredibly deep minor league roster, 20+ players, he's not worth a thought.

Denker should only be on the watch list at this point. He has shown some good power for a middle infielder in a couple of tries at A-ball, including 21 HR there in 2005. High-A is his nemesis right now as he has had tries there in each of the last two seasons and has hit right around .200 in about 300 total AB. Vero Beach is generally a good hitting environment so the problem would seem to lie with Denker himself and his inabilty to catch up to the level. Keep an eye on him as this season begins, but as Koby says, he's off the radar a bit right now.
