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:

Robert Ford @raford3
Lorenzo Cain has a Grade 2 strain of the right hamstring. Doubtful he'll return before season's end #Royals |

Bob Dutton @Royals_Report
#Royals' tentative plan is to platoon David Lough and Jason Bourgeois in center; likely means steady duty in right for Jeff Francoeur. |

Real question is : can we count on the fragile Cain as our CF going into next season?

I think you can run with an outfield of Gordon/Myers/Cain/Lough/Dyson. You've got a good 4/5 OF'ers there. And if Cain gets hurt bad enough to make the DL, platooning Bourgeois and Dyson is really not a bad situation. Bourgeois is very effective against lefties and Dyson is serviceable.

Wow. Excellent. Sidenote: Perez needs to get the **** out of the way when he's called off.

Chen has been putting up some cheese. He's lucky they haven't taken him deep yet.

As soon as he gets a lead he does whatever necessary to give the lead away.. Glad we have him locked up for next year.
