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:

Yeah, thankfully only Soren Petro thought that was a good idea.

Do we think there is a chance Soria renegotiates his deal next year? 8MM team option is pretty hefty for a guy coming off his second TJ and who will probably not be 100% until at least halfway through the season.

Don't know why I did this... but I listened to KK's interview with Craig Illig, the other half of the OnGoal leadership, over lunch today.
And now I want to throw up. There is a group in town, that has deeper pockets than Glass, that is more successful at running pro franchises, that WANTS to buy the town. It's pretty clear those guys just want the phone to ring. But it's all dependent on Glass making the right call for the team. And when has he ever done that? Track record is not good.

Yeah, I'd expect Soria to be back on a cheap, one-year deal with a team option or two.

Someone please explain to me why anyone would be interested in trading anything, even a bag of small dicks, for Frenchy?
He's an abomination at the plate and sub-par defensively. The eye test and the statistics confirm this assertion. |

Scouts feel like Frenchy helps teams win with his attitude and his arm keeping doubles to singles etc.

Because of his stellar veteran leadership, his clubhouse presence, and his marketability. Duh...

It's the 22 boxes of XL, XXL, and XXL yellow tshirts that are crippling any potential Francouer deal.

You wouldn't trade a top prospect to bring the Frenchy Quarter to your town?

Can't Frenchy be put on clearance?

How to save the Frenchy Quarter promotion:
1. Seats in RF at 25% face value on Thursdays. 2. Beers for the price of Frenchy's OBP. 3. Free tickets for future Royals games if the team is behind by less than five runs 25% into the game. |
