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:

Every time a ground ball is hit through the hole near shortstop I just think "That's routine for Escobar."
We are so blessed. |

Some tweets about the game:
Joe Posnanski @JPosnanski Futures Game announcer just said (really): "With Jeff Francoeur, what do you do with Wil Myers." Royals explained in a sentence Eye on Baseball @EyeOnBaseball Wil Myers doesn't wear batting gloves. He noted he doesn't do the Moises Alou thing Baseball America @BaseballAmerica And Yordano Ventura hits 100 mph for a third time before retiring Wil Myers, 1-2-3 inning, all groundouts. #Royals#FuturesGame Eric Karabell @karabellespn Huge applause here in KC for Wil Myers... Royals fans should get chance to do this regularly soon... Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick George Brett said Wil Myers will play all 9 innings in the Futures Game. Myers will play some RF and some CF. #royals Bob Fescoe @bobfescoe Dayton Moore told the under armor audience that wil myers will return to Omaha following the #asg #royals
