Doug Creek Biography

Doug Creek is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 1, 1969 in Virginia, Virginia, United States. Paul Douglas Creek (born March 1, 1969) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher with a nine-year career from 1995 to 1997, 1999 to 2003, and 2005. He played for the St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs of the National League and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers of the American League. He also played one season in Japan for the Hanshin Tigers in 1998.

After a solid showing at both the AA and AAA levels the Cardinals decided it was time to see what Creek could offer to their big league team. On September 17, 1995, Doug Creek faced the Los Angeles Dodgers for his first taste of big league action. He threw one inning and struck out two batters as the Dodgers could not register a hit off Creek. He appeared in five more games for St. Louis, throwing a total of six innings in six games and did not permit any runs to score. After the 1995 year ended he was dealt in the off-season to the San Francisco Giants in a multi-player deal that also sent Rich DeLucia and Allen Watson to the Giants. The Cardinals received Royce Clayton and Chris Wimmer in return.

Doug Creek returned from his one-year stint in Japan by signing a contract with the Chicago Cubs on January 29, 1999. He pitched most of the season with Iowa, then the AAA team for the Cubs. Doug went 7-3 in 25 games (20 starts) and held his ERA to 3.79. He was also able to pick up a save. Chicago decided to call up the southpaw and he struggled in the 6 games he pitched in ending the season with a 10.50 ERA.

On February 1, 2000 the Tampa Bay Devil Rays signed Doug Creek to a contract, and Creek would play out the next two and a half seasons of his MLB career with the cellar-dwelling Devil Rays. In 2000, he saw action in 45 games (all in relief) as he posted a 1-3 mark for Tampa Bay. Creek also picked up his first (and only) career save to go along with his 4.60 ERA. The following season Creek was able to lower his earned run average to a 4.31 mark as he pitched in a career-high 66 games and had a won-loss record of 2-5. He also threw a career-high 62 innings.

Creek registered a career low 2.58 ERA to go along with his 4-1 won-loss record with the Springfield squad. He then continued his strong 1992 pitching with St. Petersburg and started all the 13 games he appeared in going 5-4 with a still impressive ERA at 2.82. After playing in AA and compiling a career record of 18-22 with a 4.00 ERA as a Double A pitcher Doug had three separate stints playing with the AAA team out of Louisville. He usually went between them and Arkansas the AA team that was affiliated with St. Louis.
