There are a number of teams looking for help in center field this winter, with the Phillies and Braves among the most prominent.

Atlanta hosted B.J. Upton for a free-agent visit and he is expected to be a top target of Philadelphia as well.

"We like him," Frank Wren told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "But this time of year you've got a lot of lines in the water. You're not sure which fish you're going to catch. So you have to make sure that you have enough lines out there that you catch a fish. And we're very much in that mode. We're checking. We're involved on just about everything, every center fielder that we like."
