Dear Sir,
Jose Valdivielso isn't hitting the ball at all at AA !
He has an AVG of .180, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.

Dear Sir,
Ken Hamlin shouldn't play at AA !
He has an AVG of .198 over there, that might
be a sign that he has been promoted to soon. You
should demote him before he gets burned.
