Cesar Izturis who is my personal favorite baseball player, has recently suffered an injury when he was playing for the Lara Cardinals of the Venezuelan Winter League. He was hit in the face with a pitch and needed 40 sutures and will be out for 7-10 days. He was hitting .340 at the time and had 18 RBI's. He hasn't played in the Venezuelan League for 2 years, so he is a leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year in the Venezuelan League. Cesar Izturis played in the Major Leagues from 2001-2013 primarily at shortstop while playing for the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, Orioles, Brewers, Nationals, and Reds. He was invited to Spring Training with the Astros in 2014 but just missed making the team. Hopefully his solid Winter League will help him get a job somewhere next Major League season.
