LAJEUNESSE ON FERRO- 'Mandy will primarily see her playing time as a corner outfielder. She will also be relied upon to provide innings in the circle as a closer or in crucial situations. We are looking for Mandy to once again be the catalyst at the top of our lineup, where she[apos]s shown the ability to provide power, speed, and hit for average.'
