Why can't anyone get a good photo of Madison Bumgarner?

Looking at ESPN's [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=law_keith&id=3840355]top 25 prospects[/url] today -- #8 is Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner, accompanied by an unfortunate photo: I don't know if it's just that the guy is hideously ugly, but here's the only photo Topps has used on his baseball cards to date: Bad. Worse is that even that's a Photoshop job -- here's the original photo: At least Donruss decided to use a different photo... but that's Photoshopped from a photo taken a half-second after the one Topps used! Poor guy.

He's got Ollie Perez's sad eyes.

On the other hand, it's nice to see Fartinez as high as #16 following an injury filled season. True he dropped from #10 the year before but I would have guessed at a larger fall. Law did include a bunch of untested/high-ceiling guys (5 from last year's draft!) so maybe he's more into judging on the potential scale even if there's not much on the proven side.

My answer to the thread title's question? Because he breaks the cameras. Every time I keep checking replies to this thread, I'm amazed how much, in that first picture in the first post, he reminds me of Billy Martin. Later
