Dear Sir,
Normie Roy seems overmatched at AA !
He has an ERA of 6.52 over there, so I think
you should demote him.

Subject: Status of Billy Hunter
Dear Sir,
Billy Hunter shouldn't play at AA !
He has an AVG of .244 over there, that might
be a sign that he has been promoted to soon. You
should demote him before he gets burned.

Regards,
Scouting Director
