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:

Kansas City Royals @Royals
#Royals promote 21-year-old right-handed pitching prospect and #FuturesGame starter @yordanoventura to Double-A @NW_Ark_Naturals. Not a big surprise. Dude throws lasers. |

He would have a great shot at making the rotation next season if Moore wasn't such a tool.

Would you guys ( Royals fans) take a trade of Shelby Miller for Collins and Crow?

So, uh, Dwyer appears to need more time at AA.

Interesting article about Royals targeting a starting pitcher in the offseason here
One starting pitcher is what I'd call a good start. Add one more and they might be in business...

No shit.
Collins is a midget and thus an injury waiting to happen. And I'll trade a proven reliever who will never be more than this (Crow) for a chance of a solid starter, even if the starter is only a #3. |
