ROSSI ON GIANSANTI: "Anthony had a good year last season. He showed much improvement towards the end, but again was injured earlier. He is a very talented individual who must stay injury free. Along with his outstanding job in the outfield he will also be used in late relief. We expect a break out year from him. The coaching staff is looking for him to be a force." Giansanti Career Bests
