No they are not. We need at least one top of the rotation starter before we can start thinking about the playoffs, preferably 2.Are these pickups enough to get the Angels back to the playoffs? I don't know as they really didn't address their pitching situation that much.

Right now I would say we are a 85 win team, which is still nowhere near a postseason contender as the Rays won 96 games last season which was the minimum to make the postseason in the AL. Need to add 1 top of the rotation starter for playoffs to even be a possibility, and 2 for us to really be in serious contention.No.
Castro is an upgrade at C, but not enough to change them from a ~.500 team.
