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:

According to Keith Law Myers and Starling #5 and #14 prospects in baseball.
5. Wil Myers, RF/CF/3B, Kansas City Royals (age 21) Current level: Triple-A (Omaha) Preseason ranking: 13 I doubt Myers ends up at third base for the Royals, but there's nothing wrong with maintaining his flexibility and possible trade value. He'll hit enough to be an impact guy at any position. 14. Bubba Starling, CF, Kansas City Royals (age 19) Current level: Extended spring training Preseason ranking: 15 He was the hardest guy to rank on the list, as he still has huge tools but hasn't played yet this spring. It wasn't necessarily a bad decision by the Royals to take him fifth overall last June, but since he's nearly 20 I'd like to see him in games sometime soon |

Starling is a big ?...but man the potential is sick.
All the pitchers were gone before their pick anyway |

Myers' possible trade value?
Moore would be idiotic to deal him... |

The Cubs are on a 12 game losing streak and their numbers have been worse than the Royals were during their 12 game losing streak.

Cubs have LaHair, Garza and Dempster, thats it. Rizzo should be up soon but he's getting major gordon treatment by the fanbase, which sucks for him

I saw that today too and **** was the word I uttered as well. At least we have an injured and otherwise ineffective pitcher.

I have nothing against the Cubs but I'd like to see that streak double just because it's fun to watch that kind of fail... as long as it's not KC.
