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:

For everything decent, please allow Dusty Baker to be that stupid. And duncan is absolutely right about moving as many prospects as necessary to get starting pitching.
We have to start thinking about these prospects as chips and nothing else, particularly pitchers. |

We simply will not win banking on our system alone. Will not and cannot happen.
At this point, we're looking like we're going to make history by being the first team to have the #1 rated system and NOT make the playoffs. What does that tell you about how we've handled our prospects? And I'm not suggesting that we're not doing a great job in player development (which may or may not be the case--evidence for concern with pitchers). |

Last time I started a thread we ended up winning four in a row, including a sweep of the Rays. I think I will take a shot at it tonight if no one minds

How will we lure free agents here with our fans lewd behavior at the all star game?

Hoping Frenchy hits well until july 31st since the Reds and Indians seem to have some interest for him. Also hope Brox gets traded. Mets are interested

Just goes to show that some teams still need OF help, especially guys that are at least above average defensively. There are tons of Dysons and Buorugouis out there, but Frenchy does at least have a gun. Also, what I love about Frenchy is that we couldn't care less what we get for him so there isn't much pressure. Just get rid of him and we will be ecstatic.

Will Smith to start tomorrow. I like it. He deserves a longer chance at a spot in the rotation.

For sure. We've got nothing to lose but ballgames at this point anyway.
