"Err" is the root of "error"

Dave Littlefield:

"Right now, we're stronger pitching-wise than with the whole group of position players," he said. "You've got to make the philosophical decision, knowing the resources we have in pitching, at what point do you whittle away at that depth to improve your position players? My strong belief is that we've always got to err on the side of pitching."

Looks like anemic offense, an identifying characteristic of the once-proud former Lumber Company during the Littlefield era, will continue indefinately.
