While I think ownership's mantra to win now influenced the decision to hire Jay Feaster as the team's GM, I'm not sure if it's the ownership standing in the way of a rebuild. Let's face it, Feaster has shown no inclination that he is the type of GM who has the patience to go through the growing pains that are necessary to a rebuild. Feaster's idea of a rebuild likely involves the team getting younger rather than maximizing the team's potential to compete years down the line.
