Dear Jacoby Ellsbury:

Your steal of home with the bases loaded against the Damn Yankees was one for the ages (even if your head first slide was initiated by a somewhat awkward stumble, belly-flop body bounce).

You are our hero.

Dear Mike Aviles,

Recent correspondence with you and your colleagues may have led you to believe that you had a two-day grace period in which to demonstrate that you should not be dropped. Management has instead opted to make an example of you, and has welcomed aboard Aaron Hill as your replacement, effective immediately. (Please see Section III, Paragraph 4(a), of your contract on Management's right to terminate you at any time.) We apologize for any confusion.
