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:

Sundberg hit .245 and .212 with the Royals with 77 RBI total in 255 games. He was terrible, but we remember him fondly because he caught in 85.

Wow. So we've got our C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, and CF locked up for several years with a deal hopefully coming for LF soon. We could have 7 of 8 position players together for 5+ years. That's amazing.

Kind of a big tease by the Royals with this one.
I mean it wasn't someone like Hochevar, but I would only describe an announcement as MAJOR if it was Gordon or Hoz. OR a big free agent

Hope Perez can keep it going in 12. He had a tremendous start when he came up.

Ed Hearn played 13 career games for the Royals. He was a stud prospect before he had major health (and eventually mental) issues.

That is a steal! I love it. Can't wait to see how this guy pans out...could be the best signing in franchise history.

They could pay him the league minimum for the next 5 years. This is just free money for him.

My God, the Royals are like a real grown up baseball team all of a sudden! I haven't been this excited about them since the 80s... yikes, I'm getting old.
