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.

      The 2025 Roster - Another Year Older

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I see a playoff team with maybe the same expectations the 2023 team had going into the season. Possibly being picked to finish between 2nd and 4th in our division.     SP - Eflin, Grayson, Big Al, Kremer, Povich McDermott in AAA. Bradish and Means back in the 2nd half????  Wells too? RP - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Soto, Coloumbe, Webb, Perez, Akin 1B - Mountcastle DH - O’Hearn 2B - Holliday 3B - Westburg SS - Gunnar C - Adley LF - Cowser CF - Mullins RF - Kjerstad Bench - Mateo, Urias, backup C, RH OF or Mayo Basallo up mid season This is us baby.  We are who we are.  The only way to get experience is to actually get experience. Sorry to Brad Fuller maybe our “vet” can be a former player as hitting coach.  Carlos Beltran or Bonds.

      What's Your Top Priority

      I would love to sign any hitters who have actually experienced postseason success and wins.....maybe even championships.  Gurriel for KC has been a part of a lot of postseason wins and having veterans on the team like that are valuable.  I saw somewhere the KC guys said they really benefitted from having Gurriel, Pham, Sal Perez, and others who have been there and done that.  Continuing to rely on young players with nothing but zeroes on their postseason resumes isn't helpful.   I heard Francona is going to manage the Reds.  Great move for them.  I would have loved to have him, given he is a Hall of Famer with actual WS championships and a ton of October success.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      Crazy to lose to the same city in all three sports with two to be considered monumental upsets. I believe the Knicks were actually favored against the Bullets, but not sure as it was before I was born.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      By Surhoffan17 · Posted

      That entire series very much hurt. Benitez was awful. He hung a slider to Grissom (the eventual ALCS MVP) allowing a go-ahead homer in the top of the 8th of game 2. The squeeze play you mentioned that I haven't been convinced wasn't foul in game 3. Game 4 had two of their guys score on the same wild pitch where it looked like David Justice blocked Lenny Webster after scoring the first of those two runs. And then of course, the last hanging slider from Armando to Tony Fernandez that proved to be the game winner in game 6. Just painful all around.
