Wes Could've Been a Yankee

"It came down between the Yankees and the Phillies...I definitely wanted to stay in the National League. I knew all the pitchers. I knew all the hitters. I know where to play them in the field. Everybody I know who has changed leagues, it's an adjustment period.

"It's a more comfortable place for me to come to. I think it's better for my family, also. I felt they'd be happier here than in New York.

"The role was to play first base...They were going to DH [Jason] Giambi. On the guaranteed side, they were a little higher [in salary]. But that's just me. I'm going to go where I'm happy. I felt like this is where I needed to be." (Philly.com)
