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:

So is Hudler replacing LeFevre or White? I don't live in the media market

Royals let Frank go last year which was fine. But they said it was because he was too negative which was bullshit

Negative? Really? Unenthused maybe, but the color man for 162 Royals games almost has a god-given right to be negative.

No one really believes the too-negative excuse. The truth is that White simply was not a good broadcaster, at all. (Which might make hiring Hudler seem odd... hopefully he's the type of guy who grows on you, I dunno)

Broxton was maxing out at 93 mph today with an okay breaking ball, but certainly not elite.
His stuff has declined in just the last couple of weeks. Granted, he got the job done, but I wasn't terribly impressed with him. Holland had a couple liners smoked off him, but his fastball looked more explosive and had more movement and that slider is absolutely disgusting. And if the Padres don't make Cashner their closer in 2013, they're absolutely insane.

This team better play good baseball because the broadcast is now unbearable.

Time to celebrate! The Royals are now assured of not having a winning cactus league record, which is good because spring training record not only have no correlation with the season, they have a negative correlation, so we've got a chance! (This is based not on any analysis, but just my vague memory that those bad Royal teams always seemed to do well in AZ)
