I believe this is year 3 of the rebuild, not year 4 (but it is the 4th consecutive down year). In 2011, the wheels came off after winning the division in 2010 - I don't count 2011 as a rebuild but a frozen stare of horror. We still had Billy Smith as GM and bare cupboards in the upper minors. Rebuilding the minors usually takes 3-4 years before that talent is ready to move to the majors, so this feels like it is on schedule even though it as been agonizing to watch. I blame the Twins Daily staff for keeping us so well informed on who's who in the minors that we all became inpatient!
