Paulino pitched well in the DSL, so it's a little surprising he didn't get a shot at the GCL sooner.  Given a chance in 2007, he struggled through eight relief appearances.  He pitched very well, though, in his two starts, which were also his last two games, allowing just six hits and three walks in 12 IP, while fanning 14.  He may have been getting over either an injury or acclimation problems.  He had a lot of trouble with LH batters, who hit .340 against him compared to .163 by RH batters.  In 2008, he returned to the GCL and pitched well overall, with great walk and K numbers but more hits allowed than ideal.  This time he had a reverse platoon split.  He didn't pitch at all in August so he must have been hurt.  Next year, if he's healthy, he should be able to reach State College at least.
