Dear Sir,
Steve Korcheck has an AVG of .200 at AA Jacksonville Suns!
That's definitely no good sign. I suggest demoting him soon.

Dear Sir,
Don Taussig isn't hitting the ball at all at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an AVG of .239, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.

Dear Sir,
Fritz Brickell shouldn't play at AA Jacksonville Suns!
He has an AVG of .130 over there, that might
