All these guys have been around the block, understand politics, understand how many zeroes are on Felix' checks.
Every sport has guys you have to coddle, and Felix doesn't seem especially "high-maintenance" for a guy who has been the franchise icon for a decade. The number of years come into play and the special treatment becomes more and more ossified; it's up to Servais to keep the peace with a guy like K-Pax (whose clubhouse cred will have been extremely limited by his trips to the DL anyway).
Don't expect any problems, but now and then Dr. D likes to vent a little bit about these things :- )

In 2001 there was an incident in which Ichiro was asked to bunt, or something, and the reporters later asked him if he agreed with the decision. Still vividly remember his reaction. "It is not my job to evaluate the decisions; it is my job to do as the manager wishes." It was a cool phrasing; you wonder how much it cost him with the 24 Americans in the clubhouse.
