Ducks Sign Former Mets Prospect
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on May 30, 2009
(Central Islip, N.Y., May. 30, 2009) – Long Island Ducks team officials today announced the signing of righthanded pitcher Robert Paulk. Last season he split time with Pensacola (American Association), Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A New Orleans in the Mets organization. The 28-year-old combined for a 2-2 record with a 5.36 ERA in 38 games.
“Robert gives us another solid option out of the bullpen,” says Ducks manager Gary Carter. “He gave me some big innings in 2006 when I was managing the St. Lucie Mets and we’re looking forward to seeing him make an even greater contribution to the Ducks in 2009.”
Paulk is in the eighth season of a professional baseball. The Georgia native has spent the bulk of his minor league career in the New York Mets organization accumulating 32 victories with a 3.57 ERA in 226 games. His best season came in 2006 when he spilt time with Single-A St. Lucie, Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Norfolk when he went 8-2 with a 3.04 ERA in 40 games. Paulk was originally selected by the New York Mets in the 24th round of the 2002 draft.
In order to make room on the roster, the Ducks announced that pitcher Dan Miceli has been placed on the inactive list.
The Long Island Ducks play their home games at Citibank Park and are in their 10th Anniversary Season in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. For further information, visit www.liducks.com, or call (631) 940-3825.
