Subject: Ed Stevens failed learning new position
Ed Stevens doesn't seem to make
any progress learning his new position, Centerfield.
I would give up this experiment before his hitting suffers.

Subject: Status of Jack Littrell
Dear Sir,
Jack Littrell shouldn't play at AA Knoxville Smokies!
He has an AVG of .225 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

I am a pretty good player, so why am I not
a regular in your lineups?

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