Drafted in the 26th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft by the Cleveland Indians, Denney worked his way through the Indians' minor league organization, being named a 2003 Eastern League All-Star. He made his major league debut on September 14, 2004. He became a free agent after the 2005 season and signed with the Washington Nationals on February 10, 2006, starting six games for their Triple-A New Orleans team. In 2007, Denney played five games for the Single-A Lakeland Tigers of the Detroit Tigers organization.
In September 2004, while riding the team bus after a game in Kansas City, Denney was struck in the calf by a stray bullet fired by an unknown assailant. He was saved from suffering a more serious injury thanks to the pair of USC cheerleader boots he was wearing as part of a hazing ritual.[1]
Denney was also an excellent high school quarterback and basketball guard.
