I don't expect him to be drafted in my league. I will monitor him closely and as soon as it looks like he might be turning it around, pounce. Yes, I might end up being too late, but it's not like he's the only breakout pitching candidate out there.<br /><br />The odds are higher that he'll end up being a waste of roster space and/or a drag on ERA if drafted than of seeing him break out for another team.DrBGiantsfanhttp://www.whenthegiantscometotown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785794903916196345.post-16963782498146502002010-02-03T09:06:41.465-05:002010-02-03T09:06:41.465-05:00That said, he costs next to nothing, and most indi...That said, he costs next to nothing, and most indicators point to a huge upside.

What an enigma! Dude was throwing upper 90's heat and appeared to have a sharp breaking ball, yet the Giants, a very weak hitting team, were just raking off of him. It appeared that he was giving in and throwing fastballs in the fat part of the strike zone to avoid walks. It just goes to show that no matter how bad major league hitters appear to be, if you throw any pitch inside the black, they are going to hammer it. The fastball may have been on the straight side too.<br /><br />I'd probably rank Paulino higher than #390, but until/unless he gets better command, or finds some better movement on the fastball, I wouldn't count on him breaking out.DrBGiantsfanhttp://www.whenthegiantscometotown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
