[edit] Career Highlights

Signed by the Florida Marlins as a non-drafted free agent on February 19, 2001, he split 2002 between the Gulf Coast League Marlins[1] (Rk) and the New York - Penn League Jamestown Jammers[2] (A-). In 2003 through 2004 he was with the South Atlantic League Greensboro Bats (A).[3][4]

In 2005 he had a stellar year, pitching in the 2005 Baseball World Cup in Holland for the Australia Team, and was awarded the Florida State League Mid-Season All-Star on June 18, 2005 while pitching for the Jupiter Hammerheads (A+), his most recent promotion.[5] In 2006 He continued his move up the Florida Marlins affiliate system to the Carolina Mudcats (AA), while also pitching for Australia again in the 2006 World Baseball Classic.[6] While with the Carolina Mudcats he went 10-10 with a 4.14 ERA in 28 starts, led all Florida minor leagues in innings pitched, finished second in strikeouts (150), and third in wins,[6] which led to his winning the "Willie Duke Award" as team MVP for the season.[7][8]

This led to Paul being assigned to the Florida Marlins 40 man Roster in 2007, and being promoted again to the Pacific Coast League AAA team the Albuquerque Isotopes at the beginning of the year. He split the season between the Isotopes and the Omaha Royals when he was claimed by the Kansas City Royals for their 40 man roster, off waivers from the Florida Marlins on August 17, 2007.[9]

Paul has spent most of his time in the 2008 season pitching relief, first for the inaugural season of the Texas League Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA), and then back to the Omaha Royals on April 26, 2008 with a 2008 season ERA of 2.31.[9]
