I haven’t done polling in awhile but I thought it would be interesting to poll my readership on an issue near and dear to my heart – the Delmarva Shorebirds.
Every so often, the opportunity exists to change affiliations and, while I believe we are under contract to the Orioles for 2 or 3 more years, perhaps the grass may be greener and the on-field product better if we switch to another parent club. Many fans may not know that the Shorebirds haven’t always been an Orioles farm team – they began by playing out an existing contract with the Montreal Expos for one season. I’m also told that the Bluefield Orioles will have to undergo the process of finding a new parent because the O’s wish to have just one rookie league team next season so at times there is change in all minor league systems.
Thus, the poll basically asks about the direction we should follow – there is no right or wrong answer and the results are just to sate my curiosity. Look on the far right-hand side beyond the candidate links and Amazon ad and you’ll find it; the poll will be open for 10 days or so.
