What do the Yankees do now? - 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.

Re: What do the Yankees do now?

Hopefully, Steinbrenner has learned that teams with 25 big name superstar, or former superstars don't work, and he'll try and trade most of the high priced players with a few exceptions, and rebuild the team, even if it means taking on a lot of dead money.

What's more likely to happen is he fires everybody, signs Beltran, and all the available pitchers, and the Yankees will continue to go to the playoffs and lose until all the veterans are no longer productive, and the team becomes the joke of the league like the Mets have been, and the Rangers in hockey.

I have a feeling instead of going out and buying a ton of players like people are predicting, steinbrenner will do the smart thing and try to unload some of their players. As much as I hate the guy they need to focus on getting competitive players like Jeter. Him, Rivera, Bernie and Posada are the only people left from their championship teams. Buying superstars like arod and sheffield is a good way to win 100 games but it won't take you to the next level.

Let's not get carried away with the whole "buy the WS" and not enough home grown players argument. The entire core of their offense and pitching from from trades or free agent signings.

Where in my post did I say you need homegrown players? I said you need players with the right attitude to win. Guys like Jeter, Schilling, Varitek, Posada, etc. The Yankees clearly don't have that. Theres a difference between buying players and buying the right players.

And for the record Curt Schilling was drafted by the Red Sox in the 1986 amateur draft ironically. Trot Nixon came up through their minor league system as well.

Nixon is the only player drafted by the Red Sox that you mentioned. Mueller was a free-agent addition for the 2003 season and Embree was part of a 2002 trade.

I agree. As much as people get on the Yankees about how they are buying world series, and how they have no home grown talent, the Red Sox are just as guilty. Remember, they tried to get A-Rod, they are the ones who brought in Schilling, etc. But it is still good to see them win.
