I gotta give credit to the Yahoo! Sports writer for using the verb toeing, and not towing, here:
He didn’t fall into the trap that other Yahoo! writers have. Unfortunately, toeing the line means “adhering to rules or conforming.” And that’s not what the author meant. He was referring to someone who straddled the line between baseball and design.
