The latest minor moves from around the sport…
- Right-hander Felipe Paulino has asked to be released from his minor league contract with the Astros, as per the ALPB News Instagram page. Paulino will rejoin the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League, returning to the club after spending the last two-plus months in Houston’s farm system. The brief stint at Triple-A Round Rock didn’t go well, as Paulino posted a 9.58 ERA over 20 2/3 innings. The 35-year-old Paulino last appeared in the majors in 2014, and has since pitched in the affiliated minors, Japan, Mexico, and (for the last three years) Sugar Land.

With a 9.58 ERA, you normally don’t have to ask.

I may be watching too much television……

Sugarland is about to start their playoff run. Round Rock will be wrapping up soon. Makes sense.

ERA is inflated from a couple (or few) really bad outings. He wasn’t going to get called up anytime soon.
