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:

Maybe, if we're lucky, there will be a "tax gate" scandel that will get Glass arrested or at least publically humiliated so that MLB steps in ala the Dodgers and Glass is forced to sell the team to someone who actually wants to run it right. This could be good.

Maybe the temptation to talk shit on us will win them over. Everyone loves 'em some controversy.

@Royals_Report
#Royals must add player tomorrow to get to 25 after trading Broxton, but GM Dayton Moore said it won't be OF Wil Myers or RHP Jake Odorizzi. ![]()

**** Moore in the ass with a flesh-eating bacteria laced, rusty pitchfork.

![]() Well of course it won't be. Why on earth do we need a better bat in RF? Why in the world would we care about using the rest of the season to shorten Myers' learning curve for the future in the bigs? Why in the name of all that is good and holy would we do anything that might actually improve the team on the field NOW? We owe Frenchy money so he must play! I'm as close as I've ever been to just saying I've ****ing had it with this team.

Did Frenchy get traded or is that bundle of sticks just not in the lineup tonight?

Wil Myers has 32 Home Runs in the minors. That is more HR's than Hosmer, Francoeur, Betancourt, and Gordon....Combined
