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:
If you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

I'm still someone in shock that:

1) Lincecum tried to block the plate
2) Billingsley tried to slide.

Billingsley is about my size or a little bigger (6-2, 225). I would have trucked Lincecum into next week for trying to block the plate on me.
Add to more reasons why I like Lincecum so much

It is a nice tool to have, but there have been a lot of very good CF who did not have more than decent speed (Dale Murphy, Jim Edmonds, to name a few modern ones). Myers has good-enough speed - for now - to play CF. The bigger question I'd have is how he reads the ball and what kind of routes he takes. If he reads it well and takes good routes, Myers can be an acceptable CF defender.
Reading the ball is easier in CF than for corner spots because the ball doesn't tend to have as much spin on it when hit up the middle.

Yep. A player needs plus instincts, not necessarily plus speed. And Dyson is a case study for how shitty instincts mitigate speed.

Exactly.

And good point by Saul, too.

He should have been broken in half on that play. I respect him for wanting to block the plate, but you have to make the defender pay for doing that. ESPECIALLY if it isn't the catcher and he's waiting for the throw.

I've spoken to him in person. Guy is all of about 5-8/150. Mitch Kramer is an apt comparison. Billingsley should have trucked him. Would have at least scored... might have shaken Lincecum up a bit, too.

Biggio played a little CF (though admittedly a lot more 2b) after playing catcher for his first few years in the majors.

I'm almost positive I made a post somewhere like 3 or 4 years ago that Grienke would be a Yankee in 2012!

Too much for a half season. Wait until the offseason, then take a stab at him.

I predict Grienke goes to Baltimore and I have absolutley nothing to base that on other than they really want to seize their chance this year.
