It appears Creed Willems is heading to Delmarva.

Gillaspie was promoted to Norfolk, then to Baltimore after three appearances.   McLarty was promoted from Aberdeen to Bowie.    There might be others.   Those are two I noticed.

Earliest was after 19-20 games.   There was another wave at 35-36 games.

Figured we should have a thread for guys getting promoted and/or moved around. Nothing yet, I don't think. Anybody remember when we first started to see some promotions last year? I'm not quite sure how to look that up.

How recent is this video?  I was hoping he would have shaved off some of that baby fat in a full offseason with a professional regimen.  Looks about the same as he did when drafted.  

Guess all that matters is that the kid can hit.  And hopefully catch.  Good news that he's headed to Delmarva!

Very recent I would assume. Eric pretty much lives at the facilities. Creed is a big boy and we shouldn't be in a rush to change that IMO.

The Shorebirds catchers are abysmal currently. I'm not sure how bad he was this spring to have them beat him out, but hopefully he's improved. Guess we'll see.

Could he have been held back for reasons other than the other catchers outperforming him?

I would think more upside than those guys at least? Gotta get Creed into an affiliate at some point.

Right, like he's not very good. Let's face it, if your Million kid can't beat out the flotsam and jetsom that they let catch at Delmarva, he might not be as good as you thought.

Now, it could be just that Matt Blood thinks it's better for him to get more instruction before playing in Delmarva, but again, this is a kid who played in a high level high school system and had all offseason to be prepared to win a job in Delmarva. then again, he wasn't able to compete very well in the FCL last year.

Look, I hope the kids comes up to Delmarva and tears things up and makes me looks foolish for having concerns, but the way the Orioles are handling him since they signed him tells me he was much more of a project then they thought he was when they choose him as the overslot guy that they saved by drafting Cowser.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.

      I agree and would add Cowser to that mix, since “we” aren’t sure if he becomes anything more than this iteration; I.e., good fielder with pop but lots of whiff.

      I'll dislike it if the last out is some 29/30 bat off of Mountcastle's bat. Of the two which is more likely to conquer the wall?

      We'll like it if the last out is ever some 29/30 ball off Aaron Judge's bat.
