Pirates right-hander Jeff Karstens is most notable as the purveyor of some solid-average major league innings. By all rights, though, he should also be notable for being blessed with -- in scouting parlance -- the "good face."
Productive Outs has made a nifty little cottage industry of chronicling Karstens' various mugs, and today we'd like to present a greatest hits collage that, we hope, gives Karsten his due as baseball's leading practitioner of facial contortions ...

Jeff Karstens, we beg of you: Don't ever stop being simultaneously bored and disgusted. This world would be a lesser place without your miens.
