Subject: Alex Kellner healing process
Alex Kellner is not recovering as fast as I have
hoped! So expect his injury to last about 7 more days.

Regards,
Team Doctor

Subject: Progress of Vern Morgan
Dear Sir,
Vern Morgan has nothing more to prove at A !
He has an AVG of .394 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt him at all.

Regards,
Scouting Director

Subject: Alex Kellner
Alex Kellner is ready to be activated from the DL!

Dear Sir,
Lee Wheat seems overmatched at AA !

you should demote him.
