Back in the lineup at 1B this morning.

Creed goes boom in the 7th for his 3rd homer, a 2 run shot.

I did not see this coming but I expected much better numbers from him this year.   Again, we are talking about a kid who was 18 at this time last year, had barely played in the FCL, and was making pro

Creed II.   Back in 2021 a 19 yo Gunnar Henderson had a June birthday and was promoted to Aberdeen before he turned 20.  He had a .944 OPS with 14 walks and 46 strikeouts.  Creed, who turns 20 in June, after his 17th game tonight has a 1.245 with 9 walks and 14 strikeouts.  In 9 games at catcher he’s caught 9 of 20 base runners.   Could we potentially have two top 100 catchers in our system?

You've got to make the show to really earn a nickname, but I think Clubber has some upside for this one.

Clubber Creed?  We just need someone named Apollo Drago on the team and we'd be set.

He is 4 for his last 22 with 3 of those hits coming in one game.

At this point, I think it’s fine to call him up but I could see them giving him more time to see if this is just a SSS type slump or if he is actually about to go into a longer drought.

I'd rather promote him until he hits a league where he's not OPSing 1.1+, and then leave him there until he figures it out or requires his prospect status be re-evaluated.

 

I don't think he should be fast-tracked to like AA the way it appears Holliday might.  Whatever league he settles in at (probably Aberdeen) unless he's OPSing a really big number I'm definitely fine with letting him get seasoned even if he's playing well.   But he should definitely be in a league where he's being consistently challenged as a hitter.  His walk rate is starting to approach levels where it's clear he's not going to be IMO, at least not in Delmarva.  After drawing 8 in 62 PAs in April, he's drawn 4 in 24 in May.

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      None of them. Not a single one was good. And none were particularly good before they got here. IMO, it was not the right/proper approach to make a bunch of moves around the margins for this team (or even last year's team to be "honest"). We had real holes and needed real players that were actually good (i.e. like Tony's orginal example Erceg). Based on his last few seasons, it wasn't hard to predict that Kimbrel wouldn't be effective through the course of an entire season and into the post season. It wasn't hard to predict regression of Cano based on how his the last 3/4 months of his 23' went (adding that to that fact that he is a contact pitcher pitching in high levarage situations). It wasn't hard to predict that 22' was an outlier season for Perez and that largerly he is a mediocre reliever. And so on ... Obviously, there is no one single pitcher that can replace a Bautista (maybe Miller?). But Elias was very ineffective in building an effective bullpen for 2024. That's honest.

      Wow! I guess it just seems that way.

      Gunnar and Mullins at 1-2 in some order and Westburg batting cleanup? AS at 3, OHearn at 5, Cowser 6 and Adley 7?

      That team was              2024 7th RS                           2nd 9 BA                              3 5 K’s                             8 2 SLG                          1 101 OPS+                    118   Imagine that team playing in this park now? I know how bad they looked yesterday. Not denying that.

      Does anybody "have" to pitch today?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We literally do not have any elite relievers. I trust Eflin more than anyone we have in the pen as long as he isn't struggling.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By GoldGlove21 · Posted

      He is having a down second half so maybe 1/6th of his career. I do think this makes him harder to extend now. He will likely want to play better to get the best contract, but the closer he gets to free agency and if he bounces back, the number rises quickly.  For me the issue with Adley is on offense and a future in which he needs to DH or play first. Just not enough offensive capability at this point to justify that contract. I do love Adley and I also think he is hurt.

      I feel like this lineup compares to 2016 in the sense that it's a home run or nothing. Otherwise, yes it's a different organization and we have a chance to be a playoff team for the better part of a decade.
