Who gives a crap? The Sox are winners. What difference does facial hair make?

They're ballplayers, they're not going on job interviews or working on wall street. It's a complete non issue.

Well, I don't think anyone voting "yes" also thinks that facial hair hurts performance. I voted "no" but I also don't care. :D

It's just a personal preference. I don't mind some scruff or so much a full beard really. I can't stand mustaches, goatees, soul patches, or any other ridiculous looking facial hair style, though. I just think it's a horrible, horrible look. It's one thing to be too lazy to shave. It's another to actually WANT to look like that.

So why should anyone else --in this case your favorite baseball team-- have to abide by your "personal preference"?

I agree with you on this one..mustaches just aren't my thing, and I think it takes a pretty unique person to pull off a mustache these days without looking like 70's adult film star. However, mustaches, are allowed! No facial hair below the lip. Remember when the bullpen did their thing a few seasons ago where they all grew mustaches?

Mr. Damon, so easy a caveman can do it. I think players should look the part, I wouldn't allow Luke Scott or Nick Markakis to keep their facial hair in that manner, but I would allow for neatly groomed facial hair. It is just much easier to say no to any sort of facial hair.

So you're okay with the David Ortiz chinstrap/widows peak chin? I'm certainly not...

I am, however, pro mustache...

Well if it doesn't hurt performance, then it shouldn't matter...right? ;)

Did it hurt anyones performance when "Baltimore" wasn't on the front of the jersey? Nope, but the change was made. The team represents the city of Baltimore, and quite frankly... I don't want them looking like a bunch of idiots. As I've stated before, I think limited facial hair is fine -- it's just too much of a slippery slope to say what is or is not considered acceptable. There's no harm in having a well manicured looking team. If they win a few rings, let them do what they want, until then -- the beard has to go.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
