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:

![]() My question was just going to be "When is Cain coming back", but then I thought about Perez after I typed Cain. Sue me.

I hope ppl don't get too pumped up with Perez. I mean yeah he's going to be a defensive upgrade for sure and should be an offensive upgrade over Quintero and Pena, but don't expect him to hit +.300 like he did last year.

I mean, If he can hit around .275, that would be great. But, why do you think he can't hit +.300?

I can't wait for Cain to get back so that he can watch Myers play CF.

What he WILL do immediately is upgrade us defensively and that's a big, big deal for this team. Can't wait to have him back. When he does come back, who goes... Quintero or Pena? I hope and would expect it to be Quintero but who knows with Yost/DM.

Don't need a switch hitter off the bench when you can go with a career joke in OBP.

Just having a guy who can block the plate and tag people out at the plate is would be an upgrade. How many "missed tags" has pena had.

Humberto is abysmal both behind the plate AND standing next to it. So he'll stay and Pena will be sent down.
