What does Donal Logue have to do with baseball? Just a little wordplay off one of his movies is all.
I like to run the interviews in the Blogger Nine Innings series with the name of the blogger, but the public persona of The Tao of Stieb , a Blue Jays blog based outside Toronto, is the creation of someone who doesn’t want his name used.

The Tao's AL MVP Ballot
The Tao of Stieb —
... So how do we determine value? Well, as we mentioned in this snazzy interview with the New York Daily News' Jesse Spector, we're more of an OPS dude.
