So all we need is another 8 position players, 4 starters, and a bullpen and we'll be all set. The last time we went through this there was something to look forward to almost every year from 2009 right up until they really started competing for the division. Now, we have an ok-ish farm and a couple of young guys who may work out, but who will never generate the kind of buzz that we had waiting for Strasburg and Harper to arrive.

uh, most teams don't have guys like Harper and Strasburg in their farm system. Those are generational talents.

We have an emerging core at the major league level (Ruiz, Abrams, Garcia), three potentially very good starters, and a lot of potential all-stars in A/A+. We're in a lot better shape than we were a year ago.
