Subject: Status of Stan Palys
Dear Sir,
Stan Palys isn't hitting the ball at all at AA Knoxville Smokies!
He has an AVG of .228, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.

Regards,
Scouting Director

Subject: Status of Vic Janowicz
Dear Sir,
Vic Janowicz shouldn't play at AA Knoxville Smokies!
He has an AVG of .239 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
