Less than four months after a friend accidentally shot him with a small pistol while the two were target practicing at a firing range, Vicente Padilla is in spring training with the Dodgers. The bullet passed through his right thigh. "When it happened, I thought it was going to be pretty serious, because it was bleeding a lot," Padilla said through an interpreter. "But I went to the hospital, and they said it wasn't serious. It didn't touch any of the muscles. They gave me some medication and said I just had to let it heal by itself."
