I'd just like to think that I'm not wasting my time, if you think it's good as it is, that's ok. I just don't really like the minor league images if a replacement is available. Thanks, PLMK, Andy

Thanks for checking in, Andy. Wherever practical I prefer having a Major League image as well, within certain guidelines. My primary consideration is identifiability. A few years ago I put together a few posts outlining the criteria I use when judging images for the facepack. The four posts, with illustrating examples, can be found starting
here.
As an example of how I apply the criteria outlined in the posts linked above, among your recent posts I will use the vast majority of them, one exception perhaps being
Chris Hook, who has a very clear image in the facepack, albeit in a minor league uniform. That said,
Pegasus27 prefers Major League images for his batters and pitchers packs, so posts such as this are still quite helpful, even if it doesn't end up in the facepack.
Shawn Gilbert is another example of an image that I probably will not use, as I have clearer images in my archives (shown below). In cases like this, your post prompted me to check my collection for an upgrade (something I do every time I replace an image in the facepack), so even though the posted image itself won't be included, it did result in a clearer image being added.
I've also been debating the Tony Rodriguez image ever since
caribeņo posted it last year. The image itself is clear, but I haven't been able to color-correct it to my satisfaction (his skin tone appears sickly). That said, this is the second time it's been reposted, so I'll reconsider using it.
It is certainly true that I have not inserted every posted image meeting my criteria, and I apologize for those I have missed.
