One of those pitchers is Eric Stults, and one is newly signed Dodger Vicente Padilla. Can you spot the difference? From what I've read about Padilla it seems he is loaded with character issues, and is only on the Dodgers because Hiroki Kuroda took a liner off his head. I'd rather have a guy on the mound that has been stuck in the minors practically his whole career, is thrilled to be on the big team, and is willing to do anything to stick around. If only we had someone like that.

Look, Eric Stults could be a class A douche for all we know. He might be hooking up with Jeannie Zelasko on the side. He might be putting itching powder in Ramon Troncoso's jock strap. But if he is, that news isn't being made public. Until then, I'm standing by the good guy that shares identical numbers with the jerk.
