Subject: Status of Felipe Montemayor
Dear Sir,
Felipe Montemayor isn't hitting the ball at all at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an AVG of .249, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.

Scouting Director

Subject: Ken Lehman healing process
Ken Lehman is not recovering as fast as I have
hoped! So expect his injury to last about 14 more days.
