I agree with the statement and sentiment, but I think the aphorism is to err on the side of caution. Unless your double use of error is clever wordplay...

Either way, Jerry is uncharacteristically sitting on his hands right now. I guess he's waiting for big chips to fall before making whatever offers he feels obliged to make to free agents. Or not. Who knows with Jerry.

If we're stuck with Toro at 2B because Jerry was playing a devious cat and mouse game, I think our season would be over before it began.
Ah you are correct. Reminds we when I said milktoast instead of milquetoast one time. Never made that mistake again. lol
To err is human. To forgive, divine.

No worries. I’m certainly not the word police. I’d fail a middle school English test.
No I appreciate. Just like telling a guy his fly is down. Save him further embarrassment. lol

This guy is so hilarious. He has to be a paid shill getting about $1.50 a tweet from the M's PR dept. I swear to God the M's could trade Julio for Miguel Cabrera's last season and he would hype up how much fun it will be to see all of the farewell ceremonies around the league....He has NEVER criticized anything and ALWAYS leaps to their defense whenever anyone is slight critical.

The AAV seems a bit high but not outlandish. Seems like a good sign.

Yep, he wasn't my #1 DH/1B target but anyone being critical of that is sour graping it.

I wanted the M's to take a flyer on Abreu but not at 3 years 60 Million. The guy is 36 years old and has already shown a decline in power. He might have another good season in him but by year 3 he is going to be dead weight. The Cheatos are using him to replace Guriel who's numbers tanked this season. In 2021 Guriel was at .319/.383/.462. Abreu in 2022 was at .304/.378/.446. I could see a similar drop of the cliff for Abreu as what the they experienced with Guriel.

Not the point. Every time another team makes a move he says they are crazy and doomed. If the M's signed Abreu he would say it was the most brilliant move of the off season. 100% of the time.
