The emergence of Jose Urquidy has allayed some concerns about the back end of the rotation, and reinforcements figure to be on their way this week with the trade deadline falling on Wednesday. At the moment, the team is as close to fully healthy as it can be, firing on all cylinders, and looking primed to compete for a second world championship in three years.
