We're a bad team with a not-great prospect pool. It is getting better, but it will need to become top-5 league-wide before we have effectively accomplished what we need to. It is no longer about acquiring prospects to build our pool into a mid-league level. We don't have a core that can be complimented with nice, good, mid-level prospects. We need elite level prospects to build a new core - and more specifically, an elite core.

Feaster has taken steps towards doing this, but we still have a (relatively) long road ahead of us. Yes, there are homeruns that can be hit during the process - but as an organization, it is a fools game to plan to get struck by lightning. There is plenty of work to be done before we can begin to think of ourselves (The Flames), as trending upwards.
Doesn't the above suggest we are trending up? If things are getting better, regardless of how slowly, the trend is up.
