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:

Hosmers been a bit better of late too. Get some consistency from the pitching the rest of the way.... that's the biggest ?.

If Johnathan Sanchez can come back and be reliable then we stand a good chance to make some noise the remainder of this season, IMO.
If not, this rotation won't cut it. |

Big series coming up against the Tribe. Fortunately it's not at the K.
Unfortunately our pitching rotation doesn't favor us for this series. Let's see if we can gut out another series W. |

All the years we've been simply horrible on the road and we finally remedy that and we suck at home. Royals baseball.

Butler still "clogs the bases," right? Should trade him?

DIAF.
Yes I know it was sarcasm. If Billy is in NY, Boston, LA he'd be a household name.

Most years the Royals don't really deserve an All Star. Billy deserves to be voted in now, if not be the starting DH.

One of the most consistent hitters in the game.

Yes, he does. That sumbitch was born to hit a baseball, plain and simple. And he's largely so undervalued that it isn't funny.
