Though I got some support from Kei in the comments, I think Alexei needs a little more defending. I'll admit that he looks a little like a chipmunk...
And according to Google image search appears to have a strong tendency to be photographed with his hands in the air...
But watch this video and tell me that there is not something kind of cute about this stringy infielder. Look at him pow-wow with Konerko after the play. I don't even think they speak the same language!
Maybe not quite as handsome as the Sox's last 2nd baseman, but close.
