IT is a matter of degrees. Last seen, Henry was dominant in the AFL. Yes, has to show he can stay healthy for longer, but at least that some evidence of current health and dominant stuff. He's reached AA. AA pitchers get called up.
Denaburg has pitched all of 20 innings 3 years ago, plus 2 major surgeries. He also did not even dominate in rookie ball. HE hasn't shown anything since high school. Got to say there's a lot more red flags there.
Rutledge pitched 25 innings after his shoulder injury last year. Granted, it was A ball and AFL relief, but again that's more of a sign of life than Denaburg.
Bottom line, the floor on all 3 is that they cannot make the majors due to injury. The likelihood of a floor outcome is a lot lower for Henry than Denaburg at this point. Rutledge is in the middle. Henry's more likely outcome is MLB appearances and perhaps a relief role to minimize stress, but becoming a very good starter is almost as likely.
Edit - by the way, Henry pitched 19 innings in AFL, so Denaburg may have pitched an inning more than that (I rounded).
