Indians assign top prospect to Scrappers

The Cleveland Indians promoted highly regarded prospect Dorssys Paulino to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. Paulino is considered by many to be one of the elite prospects in the Indians organization.

The Indians signed Paulino last July out of the Dominican Republic at just 16 years old. He is currently ranked by MLB.com as a top 12 prospect in the organization. At 17 years old, he becomes the youngest player in the New York-Penn League. The Scrappers now have three of the Indians top 20 prospects according to MLB.com.
