Dear Sir,
Steve Korcheck shouldn't play at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an AVG of .220 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

Boss,
What about my playing time? Am I not
good enough to play regularly for this
team? I'm not a happy camper right now. If that doesn't
change, trade me!

Diagnosis: Flu.

Jim Brosnan is not recovering as fast as I have
hoped! So expect his injury to last about 7 more days.
