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:

He needs to close twitter and go to bed. The Royals have formally announced the trade, its a done deal pending the physicals and the usual formalities.

At least the Royals are trying something different....without pitching they were going nowhere.

I can't remember the last time I've been legitimately pissed the **** off over Royals baseball. The team has been so bad for so long I've just laughed them off for the most part.
But where you're trying to put together a VERY strong young core that can make a few runs at a division crown....and to do something this ****ing stupid....makes my blood boil. Dayton Moore needs to be ****ing fired for this ****ing shit.

The trade will appear to work on the surface to average fans because we will have a better starting pitcher than last season. But when you take into account we could have gotten the same improvement in wins, if not more, simply by calling someone in Omaha, it's a kick in the nuts. Everyone will realize this in two years when Shields is in the decline and Myers is getting 40 dingers.

We could've traded for Gio Gonzalez, Latos for less than this last year

At one time the Royals had an outfield of Beltran, Dye and Damon. They still couldn't win because they had NO PITCHING. Myers could have torn the cover off the ball but if the Royals didn't get any pitching they would be a .500 club at best.
