Santana a Met soon? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

ROFL - Ken Rosenthal said that Santana was there for the final few hours today, and that he was adamant about getting more than Zito

Re: Mike Pelfrey@ MikeRo72

Personally, I've seen ENOUGH of Pelfrey. As someone who's watched virtually ALL of his starts, I'll say this: For someone who has the body type and the pitches (he features a 95+ sinker), this guy has been nothing but a disappointment. He pitches behind too often and...and this is a big one...he's like Eli Manning. He ALWAYS looks scared and has that deer-in-the-headlights look. If I was the Mets and I could have, I would have send Pelfrey and kept Humber. I've already seen what Pelfrey can do...and I'm not impressed. Humber really hasn't had consistent chance to show his stuff

I think Pelfrey is garbage and nowhere near ready to be a big leaguer. I remember seeing a stat somewhere that he generates among the fewest swings and misses in the majors. I think his career is in the pen honestly. I was a bigger fan of Humber, who I think has a much better feel for pitching than Pelfrey.

I was kinda hoping Pelfrey was going to Minny instead of Humber to be honest. I think Humber is going to be a very nice pitcher. In fact, I'm going ot be pulling HARD for all the guys we sent. Guerra is a guy who I think might be a stud. Gomez is a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Humber is underrated and will be, IMHO, a solid #3. Mulvey is also unheralded, but he's precisely the type of pitcher the Twins love.

All in all, I've learned never to doubt the Twins. If they like prospects, they're probably going to be pretty good.

Re: Santana a Met soon?

1) WHAT

Every single year he has pitched in both the bullpen and as a starter. You can throw up stats until your fingers are tired but that doesn't hide the fact that as a major league pitcher, if you aren't in a routine it's extremely difficult to become comfortable.

The Mets have pretty much always used him as a spot starter and you can't point to too many guys who are successful that way. You can't take someone, work with them as a long reliever then just throw them in a start. His first year up he started the most games and his numbers have consistently been better every year.

And don't just point to his ERA. His WHIP has hovered round 1.2 the last three year.

We can point to stats all day... I would think you of all people know that they are not the defining factor on a point such as this.

he was under contract with them for this upcoming year.. he would have been a FA after next season....

Edit: "signing him to a six-year, $137.5 million extension on top of the final year of his current deal, which is valued at $13.25 million."

You're right. The Mets inherit that contract. I just wasn't sure if the 6 yrs was an extension to that one yr left or if it was in place of.

ok. So it is like a 7 yr $151 million deal. Congratulations Johan!! Win a ring!

I completely butchered the start of that post. It was supposed to be "Every year single year he has pitched in both the bullpen and as a starter he wasn't gotten proper run and defensive support." That's what happens when you're watching sportscenter and cooking at the same time.

So add it as you may. We're still only talking about one year, really. Please don't give me this "6 spot starts is a good indication as to how well he will pitch as a starter" garbage.

You hate the guy? Good. Enjoy watching him this year.
