I have said numerous times the rebuild should have started the deadline after Feaster got hired. If not that summer, if not the next deadline, if not the next summer. It took way to long to start the rebuild.

Tough to argue that.
He made a huge strategic error when he took over. He decided to run with the older thoroughbreds and add some middle age to older free agents that did not and will not stem the tide. He mistakingly looked at the team as a playoff contender instead of starting a rebuild to create a championship contender, 3 years ago.
In essence he perpetuated the length of the rebuild by not properly evaluating the club.
Because of the error the team's tradeable assets lost considerable value.Poor asset management.
Proper leadership, including evaluation, timing and execution is everything in management.
The club's lack of impact 27 and younger players will haunt the team a lot longer than people like to imagine.
