Newsbreakers
October 1, 2009
Felipe Paulino allowed just one run in five innings on Thursday, helping the Astros beat the National League East champion Phillies 5-3 on the road.
Our View:
Astoundingly, the outing only lowered his ERA to 6.27. With just three wins in 17 starts this season, Paulino almost surely doesn't figure into Houston's 2010 plans.
September 26, 2009
Felipe Paulino got leveled by the Reds on Saturday. He allowed eight runs on nine hits and four walks over just five innings in the 10-4 loss.
Our View:
Paulino is now just 2-11 on the season and has lost seven consecutive decisions. He was pitching relatively well in September before Saturday's meltdown though, with a 3.52 ERA despite the 0-4 mark.
September 20, 2009
Felipe Paulino dropped his record to 2-10 on the season with Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Brewers. Paulino went six innings and allowed four earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out seven.
Our View:
Paulino didn't get any run support today, and his seven strikeouts were pretty impressive. He has been pitching better as of late, but the 2-10 record doesn't lie. For the most part, he has struggled this season.
September 13, 2009
Felipe Paulino had a third consecutive strong start on Sunday. He only lasted five innings but held the Pirates to one run on six hits and a walk and fanned seven in the 2-1 loss.
Our View:
Paulino took the loss, but deserved better as he watched his record fall to 2-9. He has now allowed just five runs over his last three outings, spanning 17 innings.
September 8, 2009
Felipe Paulino turned in his second straight quality start on Tuesday night, but still fell to 2-8 on the season, as Atlanta beat the Astros 2-1 at home.
Our View:
Paulino's ERA now rests at 6.34 after his second straight "quality" start. Could lightning strike a third time next time out? Don't try to impress anyone trying to find out.
September 2, 2009
Felipe Paulino turned in his first quality start since June 27 on Wednesday, but naturally got out-dueled by Ted Lilly, as the Cubs won 2-0 at home.
Our View:
Don't expect lightning to strike twice for Paulino next time out.
August 29, 2009
Felipe Paulino may start Sunday's game against Arizona, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
Paulino has a 6.82 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 63.1 innings (11 starts) with Houston this season, and is just an option for NL-only leagues is slated to start Sunday.
August 18, 2009
The Associated Press reports that the Astros have recalled Felipe Paulino from Triple-A Round Rock.
Our View:
Paulino takes Mike Hampton's spot after the team placed him on the DL Tuesday. He has started 11 games for Houston this season and is just 2-6 with a 7.28, but has fared much better in Triple-A.
August 4, 2009
Felipe Paulino was not good in his spot start on Tuesday as the Astros' fell 8-1 to the Giants. Paulino lasted only 4.1 innings and allowed five runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out two.
Our View:
Paulino is now sporting a very high 7.28 ERA with the club this season, and it seems like his stint in the rotation is going to be over very soon. When Oswalt comes back, Paulino will most likely be back to the minors, so nothing to concern yourselves with here.
August 3, 2009
As expected, Felipe Paulino has been recalled by the Astros from Triple-A Round Rock, according to the Associated Press. Pitcher Sammy Gervacio was sent down to Triple-A to make room on the roster.
Our View:
Paulino will make a spot-start Tuesday against San Francisco in place of the injured Roy Oswalt (back). He is only an option for deeper fantasy leagues though, as he holds a poor 7.04 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 55 innings of work (10 starts).
August 3, 2009
Felipe Paulino will be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start Tuesday's game against the Giants in place of the ailing Roy Oswalt (lower back), according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Paulino holds a dismal 7.04 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 55 innings (10 starts) with Houston this season, and is only an option in deeper NL-only leagues for Tuesday's spot-start.
July 13, 2009
Felipe Paulino has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
Paulino has been less-than-stellar for the Astros this season, posting a WHIP of 1.75 and an ERA over 7.00. In his most recent outing, he gave up three home runs in just 2.1 innings of work. He is not an option should he be recalled.
June 27, 2009
Felipe Paulino was excellent in his second win of the season on Saturday, holding Detroit to just one run, three hits and zero walks over seven innings while striking out nine.
Our View:
Paulino's ERA dipped from 6.18 to 5.51, and his WHIP from 1.74 to 1.54. He has nice stuff, but will have to show that he can remain consistent, and healthy, before becoming a reliable fantasy starter.
June 25, 2009
According to MLB.com, the Astros plan to acivate and start Pitcher Felipe Paulino on Saturday. Paulino is returning from a strained right groin that landed him on the DL earlier this month.
Our View:
Paulino threw a pain-free simulated game earlier today, and he pronounced himself ready to go. Barring some sort of soreness or setback, Paulino will get the nod for Saturday's game. He is a risky fantasy play at this point with his 6.18 ERA, so stay away for now.
June 24, 2009
The Houston Chronicle reports that Felipe Paulino threw a pain-free simulated game on Tuesday. He is currently rehabbing a strained groin.
Our View:
Paulino threw three innings to Astros hitters, tossing around 15-18 pitches per inning. No decision has been made yet, but he may be the candidate who gets the start on Saturday.
June 21, 2009
According to the Houston Chronicle, Felipe Paulino tossed around 65 pitches in a bullpen session on Saturday and felt good.
Our View:
"I felt well today," Paulino said. "I'm pain free. That's the important thing for me. Next Tuesday I'll throw a live batting practice, and (today) I'll do some agility work, try pickoffs, (pitchers fielding practice) and bunt defense. We'll see how it goes." Barring any setbacks he'd have a rehab start and could rejoin the team as soon as next Saturday.
June 11, 2009
Felipe Paulino has been placed on the 15-day DL with a strained groin, according to the Associated Press. Lefty hurler Wesley Wright was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Paulino was 1-4 with a poor 6.18 ERA prior to going down, and he should not be missed in fantasy leagues while on the shelf.
June 7, 2009
Felipe Paulino exited Sunday's start against Pittsburgh in the second inning with an apparent leg or groin injury, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
Russ Ortiz replaced him on the mound. Further details regarding Paulino's injury are yet to be disclosed.
May 27, 2009
Felipe Paulino allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits that included three home runs on Wednesday. He lasted six innings, did not walk a man, struck out four and fell to 1-4 after a 6-1 loss to the Reds.
Our View:
Paulino has struggled this season with a 6.75 ERA to go along with his four loses, and he could find himself out of the rotation soon. The Astros are bringing up Brandon Backe on Friday and Paulino is the likely candidate to get bumped if the team lets Backe into the rotation.
May 17, 2009
Felipe Paulino was scheduled to pitch over the weekend, but will now be pushed back to next Friday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Brian Moehler will start against the Cubs today in his place.
Our View:
Paulino is not injured, and manager Cecil Cooper just wants to set up the rotation the way he wants for next week. Wandy Rodriguez could get regular rest and start Tuesday, and Mike Hampton can pitch on extra rest Wednesday. Roy Oswalt would then pitch Thursday.
May 2, 2009
The Houston Chronicle confirms that Felipe Paulino will move to the bullpen for the time being. He started three games while Brian Moehler was on the DL.
Our View:
Paulino pitched well over his three starts, and we won't be too surprised if he replaces Russ Ortiz or Mike Hampton down the line. Moehler isn't safe, either. The Astros are sticking with their veterans, for now.
April 30, 2009
The Astros may keep Felipe Paulino on the 25-man roster when Brian Moehler is activated from the DL, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
Paulino may stick around as the club needs pitching depth in the bullpen with closer Jose Valverde on the DL. Paulino is 0-2 over three starts, but holds a 2.55 ERA and 1.30 WHIP.
April 19, 2009
Felipe Paulino looked very good in his first outing of 2009. The starter went six innings against the Reds while allowing three hits, two walks, and no runs, while striking out six.
Our View:
The Astros could really use a starter to step up and fill in for Brian Moeller. Their pitching staff is pretty weak three through five, so Paulino should get an opportunity to stay in the mix following this performance.
April 18, 2009
Felipe Paulino will be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to take Brian Moehler's (strained MCL) spot in the rotation Sunday against the Reds, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
Paulino earned a win in his only career start against Cincinnati, but allowed five earned runs. He held a 1.53 WHIP over 19 innings of work in 2008 and is only worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues.
March 17, 2009
Felipe Paulino has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock by the Astros, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Paulino was given a shot to compete for the fifth spot in the rotation, but struggled with a 12.50 ERA over three starts. He allowed six runs on seven hits over a mere two innings of work against the Nationals on March 9, which helped punch his ticket to Round Rock. Russ Ortiz and Jose Capellan are the remaining candidates for the fifth spot.
February 8, 2009
Felipe Paulino could hold a job in the Astros' bullpen if he is unable to win a rotation spot in spring training, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View:
There will be two open spots in the rotation with Roy Oswalt, Brian Moehler and Mike Hampton the only three locked in. Paulino will be looking for bounce back from shoulder problems, and is not worth drafting in fantasy leagues.
January 26, 2009
Felipe Paulino and Fernando Nieve will be considered for the Astros fifth spot in the starting rotation, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Paulino has not pitched in the majors since the 2007 season, due primarily to a pinched nerve in his shoulder. He had many setbacks during the 2008 year as he was only supposed to be out for a a month, but his shoulder ended up sidelining him for the entire season.
