Also, I just want to give my thoughts and prayers out to pitcher Juan Lara and his family and hope for a full and speedy recovery.

For those that missed it, Lara was involved in a tragic car accident on Saturday night after a winter league game in the Dominican Republic. He was stopped at a stop sign when a motorcycle slammed into the driver side of the utility vehicle he was driving. The two people on the motorcycle died instantly, and Lara is in critical condition. He reportedly may have to be transported to the U.S. for surgery, and according to ESPN the injuries are life-threatening as he is breathing with the help from a ventilator, has two fractured ribs, has a perforated lung, and has a blood clot from a head injury.
