Q. Highlight of career to date?

A. Twelve years in the major leagues.

Q. Favorite player?

A. Beyond the guys I'm close to in the game, like Richie Sexson, I'd say Shea Hillenbrand of the Red Sox. I like him as a person and I think he's going to be a great player. (Pause) Through very reliable sources, I know he's an animal. He'd be on my All-Animal Team any day.

Q. All-Animal Team?

A. Yeah, you know, guys who are wild men on the field, crashing into walls and always getting dirty. Animals.
