    ROSSI ON BALKWILL: "Larry was playing well the first two-thirds of the season until the injury bug struck. Coming off a fine summer and healthy again, he should provide some needed leadership offensively and behind the plate. He is an outstanding catcher who should do the bulk of the catching this year."
