THAIRO ESTRADA WAS SHOT, GUYS

Enough with the guns.  What the hell is going on in this world?

If you didn't hear about Yankee prospect Thairo Estrada, he was shot in the hip in an attempted robbery.  Makes me sick.  Hardball Talk has this...

"...Boone announced this afternoon that Yankees infield prospect Thairo Estrada was shot in the hip during a robbery attempt in his native Venezuela at the end of January. The good news: Estrada is in Tampa at Yankees camp and is recovering OK. He’s expected to be fully recovered soon and is expected to play the bulk of the season."

What a scary thing.  I know it's Venezuela, but with this horrible tragedy in Florida this week and 17 innocent people dead at a school... enough is enough.  We need to love each other. This is insanity.

Get well soon Thairo. 

My thoughts and prayers are with those wonderful families in Florida.
