More like selective reading. He literally skipped over the word "acceptable" in his rush to be upset. Missing the entire point isn't the same as arguing semantics of the word "good".

If a GM is doing the bare minimum, then he’s already doing enough to be deemed “acceptable” by the smallest amount. You adding the extra qualifier is redundant and doesn’t change the definition. You’re trying to argue that it does.

I didn’t say “doing the bare minimum”. I said “bare minimum acceptable option”. The word acceptable is literally in the quote.

I swear the reading comprehension is silly terrible on this board sometimes.

Lol. You're really gonna argue terminology?

The term "bare minimum" literally already implies that it's acceptable. That's why it's called the bare minimum.

The Braves currently project as the #25 team at SS. In no world is that “good”, or whatever superlative folks want to argue about.

Kim was the absolute bare minimum acceptable option at SS. Yaz was the absolute bare minimum acceptable option in LF. Iggy plus Suarez was the absolute bare minimum acceptable upgrades for the BP. Bassitt will be the absolute bare minimum acceptable option at SP. Hiring WW as manager was an unacceptable move. Dubon for the bench is the only above average move made so far.

AA has filled all the holes with the absolute bare minimum acceptable options, and he paid roughly market rate for all of them. It has been, at best, an average offseason for a professional sports GM so far.

Spending roughly same amount plus whatever trade(s) you deem fair, how would you have fixed the roster?
