Does anyone know typically when they will award captain positions for newly delivered aircraft?
With new DL E175s birds entering ORD in March (I believe), what month would one expect an upgrade award?

SkyWest won't know where Delta will want to place the airplanes until about three months out from delivery. Look for indications in the Vacancy report early next year.

"The 15 Delta aircraft arriving in March 2018 will be flown out of the Northeast and crewed out of Chicago." Isn't this indicative that they will be placed in ORD?

If you simply want to know when the associated Captain slots will be awarded, about two to three months in advance.

For clarity, the 15 announced today do not have a base. Ord will initially crew the 15 70 seat 175s announced last month. Ord being delivered in March while these mid-summer 2018.
It is getting very confusing.
An Ord delta 175 base could make the western bases go even more junior.
Many have held out from transitioning due to Delta bennies.

Tentatively, yes. Delta doesn't finalize their flight schedules until about four months out, so everything is subject to change. This is the airline industry, believe it when you see it.
If you simply want to know when the associated Captain slots will be awarded, about two to three months in advance.

They said PDX/SEA in the announcement for these “quick” 5. The other 10 not sure where yet.. but based off the build up of the BOI base they may be crewed out of there..

Read it again. PDX/SEA is for the previously announced birds. None of the planes announced today have "homes" yet.
