WATCH: Yankees' Andrew McCutchen shows enthusiasm, discusses trade, role before debut

NEW YORK a In addition to being a great player for most of his career, new Yankees outfielder Andrew McCutchen was known for being one of good games in the game.

He's won a Roberto Clemente Award for his charity work and giving back to baseball.

The five-time All-Star and former MVP always brings a lot of enthusiasm, and it was apparent during his first interview since being traded from the San Francisco Giants to the Yankees late Thursday evening.

Before playing his first game as a Yankee on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, McCutchen was a ball of energy answering questions for 12 minutes in a Yankee Stadium conference room.
