Dear Sir,
Frank Papish is doing pretty good at A !
He has an ERA of 0.34, so you might want
to promote him soon!

Subject: Progress of Marv Rickert
Dear Sir,
Marv Rickert has nothing more to prove at AA !
He has an AVG of .319 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt him at all.

Whitey Wistert is not recovering as fast as I have
