Well, I said I wouldn't do a team update unless something notable happend: something notable happened. So the Tea Men dump salary and go from a 9th place club that I thought was the worst in baseball to a second place team thinking more about next year's title and not this year's pennant. The moves, while picking up awholebuncha young arms, has maxed out the roster (40 major league contracts) and limited the moves GM Mark Shaw can do. Still, he doesn't hesitate to make the moves he can. 5 of the 11 pitchers on the major league staff are sent to AAA. Almost 1/2 of the staff is sent to AAA. 2 starters, the no. 2 setup man and 3 other relievers are sent packing. Shaw sends a message, many of these guys will not be around next year--only the P's that can help win a championship will be here in 1980. The only way to find out is to throw them into the fire of the season and see who wilts.

5 of 11 sent to AAA. That is notable.
