Yeah - since when did Paulino need to work on his velocity?
When he was getting shuffled in and out of the rotation in Houston, his issue was always his command. The kid threw hard; he just had no idea where it was going. There was also some concern about his stamina in those days, but it looks like he's turned a corner there.
Teach Paulino some control and he's a potential #3 starter on a legitimate contender. Even last year, when he was pitching well, he wasn't commanding well and that kind of guy can get blown apart at any given time. That's not someone you really want starting a playoff game for you if you can avoid it.
