2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread
2012 Slogan: Our Time
A better, more accurate 2012 Slogan: It is Finally Next Year (from Great Expectations) An alternative slogan if you don't like that one: Someone has to win this crappy division (from alnorth) With the beginning of a new year, it is time for the 2012 version of the Royals Repository Thread. We've got Hosmer, we've got a 2011-dominating Gordon, we've got Moose, we've got hopefully a killer bullpen, we've got a stereotypical slow slugging DH, we've got easily one of the best defensive shortstops in the AL, we've got a promising catcher in Salvador Perez. Hell, we've got offense and promising prospects galore. We do not have starting pitching. Oh yeah, we've also got this: ![]() Get ready for, (as of January 2012 anyway), one of the most confusing puzzles of a baseball season in recent Royals history. Will they suck? Maybe, I don't know. Will we be given a year of 0.500 baseball? Possibly, I don't know. Will they win the division and go to the playoffs for the first time in 27 years? For the first time in a long time, it could happen, I don't know. 92 losses, 92 wins, or anything in between would not surprise a lot of us. Everything goes here except Gameday threads and really big news. If a giant story breaks, the Royals achieve some awesome milestone, or we sign/lose a highly significant player/coach/mascot/whatever, then it might also deserve its own thread. This being Chiefs Planet, please do not clutter the board with new threads about trivial Royals news or you will only annoy those who come here for just Chiefs football. If you aren't sure and its not a Gameday thread, it goes here. What sort of stuff often goes here? SPchief explained it well, so I'll just copy that: Quote:

I don't understand why Coleman is being optioned. He was solid last year.

The good news is that you don't have to explain it to any of us. We understand. Solidarity brother

I got to have something to hold on to? Truth be told, it's all mostly shit, with a smattering of corn.

See, I'm more shocked at Coleman being shipped. Dude was pretty good all year for us in 2011.

He struggled a bit in spring training, but I think the bigger problem is finding space. Collins outpitched him during ST, and earned the spot. If they were carrying 8 bullpen guys, I"m sure he'd be No. 8.

Probably so. I'm sure he'll be the first guy up if needed, assuming he doesn't bomb out in Omaha

Looks like Tommy Hottovy isn't going to make it onto the roster.
Damn shame, he's had a great Spring; he's done everything the Royals could ask of him. Went to HS with him and he's a hell of a good dude. Hope he sticks with it, if he keeps pitching like he did in camp, he'll get back up here. LOOGIES have the shelf-life of a Twinkie; he's a pup still for left-handed relievers.

Alex Gordon's deal: 4 years/$37.5 mil. 12: $6 mil, 13: $9 mil, 14: $10 mil, 15: $12.5 mil. Player option in 2016 is for $12.5 mil #Royals
Per Robert Ford twitter acct. Coincidentally, this is almost the precise deal that Zach Greinke received, it's awesome that we finally got it done. Go Royals! |
