Bobby Smith has made noteable progress
learning his new position, Third Base.
I would rate his skills as "C" right now.

Dear Sir,
Benjamin Pastrana is doing pretty good at AA Wichita Wranglers!
He has an ERA of 3.26, so you might want
to promote him soon!

Subject: Progress of Ralph Isenhour
Dear Sir,
Ralph Isenhour has nothing more to prove at A Wilmington Blue Rocks!
He has an ERA of 2.49 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.

I would be interested in a contract extension!

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm
in my last year of the contract.
