Paulino not expected for a few more days
Ronny Paulino - C - Seattle Mariners
Feb. 15, 2013 - 4:35 PM ET

Ronny Paulino is not expected to report to Mariners' camp for a few more days due to visa issues in his native Dominican Republic.

Paulino signed a minor league deal with the Mariners over the winter after batting .254/.266/.302 in 20 games with the Orioles last year. He's unlikely to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, as the M's already have Kelly Shoppach in place as a backup to Jesus Montero.
