I agree that it isn't a "complete" rebuild, I guess a re-buffing of the system would have been a more appropriate phrase to use. Really like that A.A. has stocked his farm system with high-end talent, and when the time is right, will have the pieces to go out and acquire major league talent when this team is ready to compete.
