Dear Sir,
Adolfo Dufresne isn't hitting the ball at all at AA Slippery Rock Rockets!
He has an AVG of .190, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.

Dear Sir,
David West has nothing more to prove at A Cranberry Canucks!
He has an ERA of 3.96 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.
