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:

You don't remember Colon stinking up the joint in a Royals uniform for brief periods over the past two or three seasons?

Yost was on 810 earlier today. Said that he believes that the team has finally figured out the problem(s) with Hochevar. No bullshit. I was laughing out loud, literally.

I heard this too. He also said Hoch was "a gamer, mentally tough, etc." which is far from the truth. He folds up like a cheap lawn chair at the first sign of trouble. And he never, ever EVER throws inside or knocks a guy off the plate. He's a major puss in every way. A gamer is a guy like Steve Busby, Dennis Leonard or Bob Gibson. This guy has no clue, and I can see why Ned's act played thin in Milwaukee. But he's a cheap manager, and that's what the Glass Family likes.

Feel bad for Robinson. He struck out a bunch, and he always got brought in to face the other team's closer. Tough ABs off the bench. I hope for his sake he gets traded to a place where he can get to the bigs and stick, like Kila going to Oakland.

I thought Ned cured both Hoch and The Mexicutioneer last year? Didn't he find the problem on tape and fix it?

Hochevar has been "fixed" more times than any athlete in history. Ironic that he's never had a pair of balls.

I guess what I meant to say was, Kila had no chance with Hosmer in front of him, he at least made it to another organization, and has had his shot at sticking in the bigs. Robinson will need that same kind of move to have any chance at sticking. Hosmer's not going anywhere for awhile.
