Paul Douglas Creek (born March 1, 1969 in Winchester, Virginia) 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.
Upon being selected in the fifth round of the 1990 MLB draft by the California Angels, Creek opted to not sign with them and go back into the draft pool the following season. In 1991, he was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh round of the draft and was signed to a deal shortly thereafter. After signing a contract with the Cards, Doug Creek bounced around A ball in 1991 and 1992 playing for four teams (Hamilton, Savannah, Springfield, and St. Petersburg) in that span. He was used primarily as a starting pitcher with all those teams and after some early career struggles with Hamilton and Savannah in 1991 he started finding his grove upon joining Springfield the following season.
