Yes. 

Wish they had another move up their sleeve, but we don't have a whole lot to flip. And no real spot to upgrade. 

The only true upgrades you can speculate on are likely too expensive.

Bit I'll keep refreshing the @mmc show every 3 minutes hoping I'm wrong.

We just have to remember not to shoot the mmessenger.

I bet @T.G.'s garage door knows.

Like everyone else I'd love to get hit with a "holy shit!" move here last second by Perry. But just not realistic.

That said, we've already brought in 4 bona-fide upgrades in the past week. It's actually been pretty cool to see.

And fingers crossed we're getting help here pretty soon from the DL. 

Hard to not be optimistic for a good second half run.

Was thinking the same. But about almost every one of these trades were hearing, sans Verlander.

Does the backend look sufficient enough beyond Estevez, Moore, and Lopez?

Is Soriano ready for regular set up work?  Good news is the 34 Ks in 22 innings.  Has walked 15, but only 2 in the past 5 innings after 13 in the first 17 innings.

Will they keep Silseth in a late innings role going forward?

Loup has looked a lot better the past 2+ months, aside from 2 poor outings.

Need one more reliable guy.

Not sure when Joyce and Bachman are returning, and Webb and Devenski were very shaky lately.

Barria is fine in the long innings role.

Just saw Minasian driving towards Newport Beach with a surfboard in the back of his truck.  He was puffing on a cigar and giving everyone the "hang loose" sign.

I cant remember the last time we brought in a front end starter, solid reliever and two starting position players at the deadline.  Not to mention Moose and Escobar.  Has anything like that ever happened?

Biggest deadline moves I remember were Grienke, Texiera, and Jim Abbott (we should have dealt Greene for Cone in 1995 instead).  Far be it from me to ever give Reagins any credit but I loved that Tex deal, especially since the comp pick netted us Trout.

Edit - forgot about Haren

I remember there a few people who were not happy we paid Matt Moore instead of Chafin.

Dan Haren was a deadline deal in 2010.....

Hubs was right about another OF in Adams. I knew we would need one.
