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:

Last time the Royals won the World Series, Detroit was the defending AL Champions.

Detroit, on paper, looks pretty good. They wouldn't win the AL East, but by the AL Central's crappy standards, they will be tough, and I don't think we'll have a wild card in this division.

Whoever starts the 2013 thread, whether its me or someone else, probably should have a picture of the Detroit "D" in a gun cross-hair.

Defense is still terrible, although adding Torii to a corner OF spot helps. They probably lose Delmon Young, but they get Victor Martinez back, so that's a net add. Verlander/Scherzer/Fister is nice, but if they get Anibal back....yikes. A bit suspect at the back of their pen....we'll see what they do there. But a lineup of Austin Jackson/Torii/Miggy/Prince/Martinez/Peralta and beyond is scary.

We need somebody (Rangers ?) to sign Sanchez so the Tigers don't get him. Badly.

I know, I know. Twitter said the O's would keep up with the bullshit they pulled out last year.

You can't sustain the one run game wins. Sorry dude (not really) and when those normalize you won't be showing your face around here anymore. Douchebag

Tell you what if they win more than the royals this year I will never post in your idiotic O's thread again.

If the royals win more you won't post in any royals thread again.
