Will Manny have to wear a suit of armor when Padilla starts plunking people? Don Drysdale and Bob Gibson could get away with pitching inside and hitting people but Padilla ain't Drysdale or Gibson. When the players on your own team say how happy they are to see you leave and wonder what took the Rangers so long to do it, the expectations for Padilla better be pretty low.
