"When Torii Hunter, Denard Span and Ben Revere met for breakfast on Wednesday, it was a gathering of three center fielders chosen as first-round draft picks by the Twins.

Hunter, now in his fourth year with the Angels, had some advice for both of them.

On Revere, Hunter said, "He seems like a good kid; very polite, always smiling. And he's put together, to be sure. He's going to be fine. He asks a lot of questions."

As for Span, who heard his name mentioned repeatedly before the recent trade deadline, Hunter said, "Hey, if somebody trades for you, they actually want you. The Nationals probably need a leadoff guy, and Denard Span fit the profile."
