ROSSI ON DEFILLIPO: "Jason did a credible job last year in his first full season as a starter. He completed the year without an error playing in all but one game. He needs to step it up offensively and improve his on-base percentage as an upperclassman. How quickly he returns from a summer injury will be a deciding factor for him this year."
