Looks like a young Captain Spaulding

from “The Devil’s Rejects.” That might intimidate a few opponents.

I told Reed I'd play his stunt double if he wanted.

He laughed.

He looks like a dictator

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

Dave Kaplan asked him if he'd turned Amish.

Thought that was pretty funny.

Looks good

Looks good on him. Few men can pull it off without looking stupid. Reed does.

That looks more like what Reed would wear in real life, rather than the suit.

I agree

The ladies in line with me thought he looked like that guy from American Idol from afar.

I think we should post to decide if he will have it full beard, goatee, or whatever on opening day!

We could, but...

… according to Jessica, who heard this in one of the sessions, he is getting rid of it before spring training starts.

besides

Johnson never hangs on to any one particular style longer than a gnat’s lifecycle. Although I’d prefer just about anything to that fugly billy goat hair he had at the beginning of last season.
