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:

This thread has taken a turn for the bizarre. Grimsley was our best pitcher for a couple of years.

Jose Awfulman could hit. He hit .306 in 3 seasons with KC: 96-97-98. Over that time in three years he had 14 HRs and 152 RBI. Not much production. He was a terrible fielder. He was a shortstop with LA until his fielding made them dump him. Came to KC as a second baseman, was 2nd in the AL in errors at his position in 1998. He made about $5 mill with KC over three years, then went to Boston as a Free Agent for about $6 mill a year. Boston kept him around for a couple years, then got rid of him. During his three years Royals finished 3rd, last and last.

I only have one autograph from a player who wore a Royals uniform. I got his signature on a baseball during 1994 spring training (in Florida). He was a Royal in the twilight of his career. Any guesses?

Just to prove how disconnected from the KC sports nation I am...I had no idea Bruce Chen was raised in Panama and speaks with a distinct Spanish accent.
