He just might shoot you.
While in his native Nicaragua, Padilla was accidentally shot in the right thigh by his instructor. Apparently, Padilla's gun was jammed when he handed it over to be checked out. Well, it worked just fine. So well that the moron instructor shot himself in the hand, which then grazed Padilla's leg.
No, this was not a cartoon, it's real life.
I can joke about this only because the injury was considered minor and surgery wasn't even required. And thank God, because the Dodgers reportedly have interest in resigning him.
After being signed to a minor league deal in August, Padilla was awesome the last two months, going 4-0 with a 3.20 ERA. He then had two great starts in the postseason against the Cardinals and Phillies, though he was battered in the last game of the season in Philly.
Based on that success, there is a strong likelihood of him being resigned and back in the starting rotation next season.

Padilla was a good addition to the Dodgers last year. It will be interesting to see who the Dodgers come up with in 2010. By the way, I post over 50 Dodger audio interviews at my website at:

at the Dodger interview page. Keep up the good work and go Dodgers!
Hi Dale, thanks for the comment. I just listened to your interview with Loney and it was good stuff. Keep up the good work yourself!
