Feaster is married to Edwards. LOL.

Well said, though i dont thinks its disagreement necessarily about anything except maybe timing. I think people put way too much stock in specific words in the media, and on individual deals. Like a day trader looking at every swing in a stock, they lose sense of the overall trend.
It has not been hard to see where feaster is headed. The rebuild started 2 years ago when Feaster got handed the keys.
Step 1 - create an actual organization, that might pull it off (weisbrod, scouts, stats guys, more opinions at the table)
Step 2 - start building prospect depth & development (better drafting plus college guys, cast offs, free agents...none home runs but not supposed to be)
Step 3 - when the time is right, flip the switch and start rebuilding/retooling whatever you want to call it in the big club. Then and only then start talking about it publicly.
Fans can argue how fast or slow that all happened, and I think that's fair. Directionally though I don't have an issue. It feels like the team got here on purpose and looks as prepared to deal with it as anyone is likely to be. Will they get it right? No idea. But that's always the case, so we'll just have to see.
