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:

Damn I don't like Haren on the open market, I wish he was available on the trade block instead. We have the prospects to trade but I don't see us getting into a bidding war in the free agent market for him. I see us going after somebody like Shaun Marcum instead.

Haren's velocity down this year? SO:BB numbers are solid, but the SO total is down.

Gonna be the same as with the Cheaps. We'll get excited about every pitcher that becomes available, and on opening day of 2013, we'll be starting with NO new pitchers. Hopes dashed into the rocks again

He's also never really been a huge velocity guy, as someone mentioned. Either way, more good pitchers on the market increases the chances the Royals bring in some real outside help. So it's a positive thing.

Can't believe Falu didn't let that ball go on the turn of the double play. Dude, that's ballgame if they score, you have to give it a shot. Also, I don't think I can take Hosmer grounding out to the 2nd baseman one more time this season. His weight distribution is shit....finishes on his back foot and on his heels more times that not.
