When you talk about center fielders like Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Mantle, he's up there with them, ... If he hadn't missed the last three-four years with injuries, he'd probably have at least 100 more homers.

They tell me they have to watch out for [Joe] DiMaggio,

I'm the guy that made Joe DiMaggio famous.

Ryan Wagner has a great sinker, a great slider. It's just a matter of when he's going to put it together.

When pitchers are pitching well, they're repeating well, physically and mentally. I don't know about the mental part of it, because I'm not in [Hudson's] head. But physically, he gets out of sync, and it takes him a few batters to get it back.

When he's ready to pitch in the Major Leagues, we'll bring him up, if that's April 1 of this year or its April 1, 2008. My whole thing is if you're ready, not how much time you've spent in the Minors.
