Braves Designate Adam McCreery

By Jeff Todd | November 26, 2018 at 7:43pm CDT

The Braves have designated lefty Adam McCreery for assignment, per a club announcement. His roster spot will go to just-inked slugger Josh Donaldson.

McCreery, 25, came to the Atlanta organization in the early-season 2016 swap that sent Jhoulys Chacin to the Angels. He has steadily moved up the ladder in the Braves system since his arrival, even briefly cracking the big leagues last year.

The 2018 season was McCreery’s first in the upper minors. He produced solid results, working to a 3.59 ERA in 62 2/3 innings (including his frames in the Arizona Fall League), but coughed up 5.7 free passes per nine to go with a healthy tally of 11.2 K/9. Whether the 6’9 southpaw can stay in the zone enough to establish himself at the MLB level remains to be seen.

    Britton’s FA, Shreve traded in Voit trade, Chapman’s only LH in the Yankee Bullpen. Yankees

      Who do they designate then. I thought their roster was full.

        Yankees should have at least 2 roster spots since Britton and DRob are FA. Although I am not advocating the Yankees sign this guy for one of those spots.

          Capo… the Yankees had to DFA Torreyes when they signed Bridwell today. Apparently they are full up on the 40 man.

    Or trade some players in a deal for another player to free up some spots and fill a hole. Then just pick him up. I feel like Webb did better than shreve which sucks. Maybe just eat cecil’s contract, hes the worst

    This was the perfect time to try and sneak McCreery through waivers. Teams just filled up the majority of their 40 man rosters, and are possibly planning to use an open spot on the Rule V draft..

    I’m hoping they are able to sneak him through, and get him some more work in AAA this year. If not, maybe they can get a lottery ticket flyer at a lower level.

    Either way, if you had to pick a time to try and sneak a guy through, I could be wrong, but I think this might be the best time to do it..

    Detroit should nab him immediately. Don’t take the chance of missing out on a young, controllable LHP out of the pen Mr. Avila.

    Why get rid of Adam McCreery when we had so many other options we could have gotten rid of? *Cough* Sam Freeman *Cough*

    Every fan on here is hoping their team grabs him.

    Dude has allowed like 4 HR in 190 lifetime minor league innings, and is only 25, with a great K rate.

    If the Braves can sneak this guy through because of the timing, it would be a great day to be a Braves fan.

    I’m hoping the Cards grab him and non-tender Shreve or DFA Webb, I much prefer this guy

    Someone will pick up Adam McCreery. He is not a power pitcher, not a control pitcher, and not a pitch to contact pitcher either. He is a 6’9″ project.

    If it doesn’t work there is always basketball….. actually he is worth the risk, probably get buried number wise in the Atlanta pitching chart.
