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:

![]() The boy—who I assume is William The III—is now 22 and looking at his MySpace (or course) page it doesn't take long to see that starting a brawl at a baseball game is the crowing achievement of his short life. (After "anticipatin" the birth of his "shorty.") One of the pictures in his album is a screen shot of the incident with the caption: "ME AND DAD ****IN UP THA COACH FA THA KANSAS CITY ROYALS."

The dugout's reaction to the father/son attack is probably the highlight of the 2000-09 Royals. Absolute wave of players overwhelm the attackers.

If I recall correctly (I was watching the game live), I believe Aaron Guiel grabbed a baseball and was pounding one of the meth heads in the face with it.

To expand on that. The 21 year old had a 2-4 night with another homer. He is averaging a HR about every 3 games in AA and AAA and hitting .345 in Omaha
![]() I have no idea why they keep DHing him though when he obviously will play a position at the next level. Maybe to not tip the hand of needing to move Frenchy? Last edited by BigCatDaddy; 06-02-2012 at 07:45 AM.. |

No kidding, real good stuff.
Are you on twitter? He tweets quite a bit atleast... I hope Myers is up by the end of june if he continues to rake..just don't see it happening unless Frenchy is moved. I dont think that will happen for some strange reason though even if he continues to hit |

Anyone know the timetable on Sal's return? That would be a nice boost along with a Myers call-up and perhaps the acquisition of a pitcher.
We're still very much in this thing. We need to win 5 or 6 out of these games with Oakland/Minny. Do that, and we'll be past Detroit and starting to move on Cleveland. |

• Catcher Salvador Perez (knee) and center fielder Lorenzo Cain (hip flexor) are regaining their health in Arizona. Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Perez might be able to leave for a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, while Cain is about a week behind Perez. According to Moore, Perez caught seven innings on Friday. (He threw out two runners and picked another off first.) “He’s going to take (today) and Sunday off,” Moore said, “and go out sometime next week.” • Infielder Chris Getz, who is recovering from a left ribcage contusion, took batting practice on Friday and could leave for a rehab assignment early next week. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/06/01...#storylink=cpy |
