Hello Boss,
Our fans seem to be pleased by the signing of Bob Veale.

Subject: Status of Duffy Dyer
Dear Sir,
Duffy Dyer shouldn't play at AA Chattanooga Lookouts!
He has an AVG of .204 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



Date: Monday, 5/1/1968
Subject: Progress of Leon Mcfadden
Dear Sir,
Leon Mcfadden has nothing more to prove at A Orlando Senators!
He has an AVG of .306 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt him at all.

Regards,
Scouting Director

Subject: Johnny Werhas learns new position
Johnny Werhas has made noteable progress
learning his new position, First Base.
I would rate his skills as "10" right now.

Your scouting director

Subject: My role in this team

I believe that I am deserving more than being a reliver.
I want a spot in the rotation, I think
I would do an adequate job. Otherwise, I'd like to play
elsewhere!
