ROSSI ON GIANSANTI: "Anthony struggled offensively at the start of last year, but showed much improvement towards the end. He needs to build on that and get out of the gate quickly this year. He led all outfielders with 10 assists in his first year at a new position. The coaching staff is looking for him to be a force this year."
