Baltimore Orioles pitcher Zach Britton insists he's not that interesting, but he had some interesting thoughts on the concerns with drug testing, the worst questions he asked and the players he likes to watch.

Who was your favorite player growing up?

Britton: I had a couple. The guy that I watched the most was Tom Glavine. But growing up in Southern California, from a hitting standpoint, I used to like Shawn Green. He was on fire. When I was that age where you're really focusing on guys, he was on an unreal streak. I used to try to hit like him. Fred McGriff was another of my favorite guys to watch. He had that helicopter finish on his swing. The Crime Dog. When Shawn Green was going through his hot stretch, I modeled my stance after him. But when me and my brothers would play in the front yard, if I wanted to go for the long ball, it was McGriff.

Who is your favorite player to watch today (not a teammate)?

Britton: I really like watching Jose Altuve play. He's the most exciting guy. It's crazy how good he is. I feel like he's still underrated, which is shocking. I love everything about him. He's just a baseball player. Everything's hard-nosed. He never really gives away anything. He's never taking his time on a hit. He plays the game hard. When we play them, my family members and friends that come watch, they always go, "Man, that Altuve guy, he's just a baseball player, huh?" The guy's just fun to watch.

Who is your most underrated teammate?

Britton: Jonathan Schoop. Extremely underrated. Arguably the best arm on the team. Really good defense. Big guy, lots of power. Very young. And he's just starting to come into his own a little more. I remember watching him in the minors in 2011. He was playing with Manny [Machado] at the time, and there wasn't a huge separation between the two. I didn't know much about him at the time, but I remember thinking that this Schoop guy had a chance to be pretty good. Based on what he's doing now, I could see him reaching a Cano level. When I watch him play, I think he could be a Robinson Cano type player.

What's the most annoying question you are asked by the media?

Britton: 'How do you feel?' After you do something good or bad, it's always, 'Hey, how'd you feel?' Bad. If I'm injured, I get it. But otherwise, give me something specific. If you win, how do you feel? I feel good, we won. If you lose, how do you feel? I feel like crap, we lost. And then if you give that answer, people are like, can you elaborate? Well, what do you want -- you asked me how I felt. I like when people engage you with not as broad of a question. Like, 'What was your thought process on this pitch? Why'd you go to that pitch in that count?' I remember giving up a home run to Mookie Betts earlier in the year. We ended up winning, but someone was like, 'How did you feel on that home run to Betts?' I felt terrible because I gave up a home run.

One rule you would change?

Britton: I'm OK with taking away the four pitches for the intentional walk. We did it in high school and it was awesome. The coach just said, let's go ahead and put this guy on. You don't throw the four pitches. You just put him on. I just think it's a dead period in the game that doesn't need to be there.

Who is ultimately responsible for policing the game? Players, manager, umpires, league?

Miller: On field incidents, it's the umpires. That's kind of their job. But it's not just one set of people. It's everyone's job collectively. The players have their role in enforcing the game as far as how players should act and how they should go out and play the game. MLB, they police the game on how they want the game to be represented. So I think there's three different tiers of people.

How big of a problem are PEDs in today's game?

Britton: I'm not a hundred percent sure. I think the drug testing has done a good job. I feel like I've already gotten tested 10 times this year. Even though guys feel like it's inconvenient, we all want a level playing field. The thing with PED's is, the NFL had a situation where there was like contaminated meats that guys were testing positive for. That's kind of a scary thing, if you think about how strict our drug testing is. When you go to a visiting clubhouse, or even at home, you could be following all the rules, but who's responsible for that? I know there have been more positive tests recently, and guys have gotten suspended, so that's working. Then you hear the guys who say they didn't do anything, that they didn't put it in their body. Most of the time you don't believe them, but what if that's the truth? A lot of trust goes into what the team's feeding you, and what the opposing team is feeding you. So I think that's something to look into if the drug testing is going to be so strict.

What is something that people don't know about you or have wrong about you?

Britton: That I'm interesting. I'm not. I'm a homebody. I like to hang out with my wife and my son, lay on the couch and hang out. If you play baseball, or if you're on TV or if your job is cool -- like playing baseball is a crazy gig that not a lot of people get to do -- the public thinks that's interesting. But I don't think my teammates think I'm interesting. Some people like to go out and do things, but I'm completely happy staying home. We're always on the go, so I'm not that interested in it.
