Logan Kensing the barber?

Oh, Good God No!  You never let someone who went to Texas A&M be the team barber!

One day after owner Jeffrey Loria made his first visit to Roger Dean Stadium since pitchers and catchers reported, several Marlins checked in with haircuts. Included among them were center fielder Cameron Maybin, reliever Leo Nunez, starter Josh Johnson and shortstop Hanley Ramirez.

"It's a new thing," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We're trying to keep it nice and neat, and the guys have done a terrific job."

The reason for the haircut mandate?

"Maybe jealousy on my part," the bald Gonzalez joked.

Perhaps nobody was most affected than Johnson, who was sporting a full-blown afro at Roger Dean Stadium on Sunday.

The 25-year-old right-hander did say he was going to cut it off anyway, but he didn't end up going to a barber, as reliever Logan Kensing - an amateur barber at best - ended up cutting Johnson's and Nunez's hair with a pair of clippers he bought at Wal-Mart.

I'm not a fan of haircut rules on the team, I'm one of those, the player can wear his hair anyway he sees fit.  All I care about is whether he is helping the team on the field, not how stylish his 'do looks doing it.

I know others hold to the, in order to be professional you need to look professional mindset. Fine.  But for the love of all that is good in this world, don't let an Aggie cut the player's hair.  Nothing good can come of it.
