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:

Thank you Duncan. Lots of great info. I have no interest in Felix considering what they would want for him. He isn't worth it statistically or financially. Guy hasn't posted a sub 3 ERA in 1.5 seasons now. Currently sitting at 3.52. Also the Mariners use and abuse him like we did with Meche. Guy pitches 230 innings every year averaging 104 pitches per outing.

I came at you because saying they'll go 5-12 when they've been winning is very short-sighted.

Maybe they meant for the slogan to read:
Our time?

I agree with the sentiment, but it's technically the opposite of short-sighted.

To reiterate what Rany tweeted: Paulino just made a rehab start and is now lost to TJ. This demands some type of explanation.

Don't insult Kyle Davies like that.

Link? Lebrun was, overall, loved when he was in Cleveland. After he went to Miami he become, overall, hated. And he's had that nickname since high school. Ya know, cause of the bible and all. It actually makes sense.
