Coach Farley on Denny: "Chris is battling his way back from shoulder surgery. He is a good competitor and is anxious to get on the mound and help the team. Chris' fastball has a natural cut action to it which makes him tough to hit. If he can regain his velocity, he could be an effective relief pitcher for us."
