Former G- Stro Felipe Paulino is featured in a write up by the
Kansas City Star. He talks about how he is enjoying being in KC and is optimistic about 2012.
“I believe I found my home here last year with KC,” Paulino said. “I’m
really happy about the opportunity that KC gave me. They let me be a
starting guy last season, and that’s what I’ve prepared to be for all of
my career.
His manager, Ned Yost, says this about him:
“His stuff is dynamic and electric, but he still can’t pitch
effectively out of the strike zone. He can’t pitch up, and he can’t
pitch out. It was a very fine line with him.
“He would overpower
guys at times last year, but in order for him to maintain his
consistency, and become a consistent winner, he’s got to command the
fastball down in the zone. When he gets out of the zone, when he gets
the ball up, he gets hammered.”

But the fans from Missiouri are waiting for the "show me" results in a game. He suffered a hamstring tweak last week but is expected to get his first spring training action this week.
