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:
If you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

He's an abomination at the plate and sub-par defensively. The eye test and the statistics confirm this assertion.

There is a group in town, that has deeper pockets than Glass, that is more successful at running pro franchises, that WANTS to buy the town. It's pretty clear those guys just want the phone to ring.

But it's all dependent on Glass making the right call for the team. And when has he ever done that? Track record is not good.
I threw up in my mouth a little. Glass is Kansas Citys personal satan.

Speaking of a PR nightmare, what about them having a bobblehead of Buck O'niel who's been dead for a couple years? I guess they don't read the news out there at 101 Kauffman drive.

Because he loves Jesus?

He's determined to avoid ending up like Trey Hillman when he leaves the Royals and is asked what he would have done differently:

"I would have studied my bible more..."

He's served a role as a platoon guy/bench bat in the past, and would be decent in that role I guess. Obviously, not going to get much for that in trade.

Frenchy is an impressively bad player this year:

Against LHP: .225/.269/.373
Against RHP: .252/.289/.370

He literally possesses no value as a batter or a fielder (don't tell me about his arm or assists, since his limited range mitigates all of this), and he is owed a sizable amount of money next year.

I suppose if the Royals eat almost all of the salary, someone will pick him up, but that's about it. Also, there have been rumors (radio guys) about Frenchy previously being a pain in the ass in the clubhouse when he's not playing regularly.

Don't under-estimate the power of stupidity that runs rampant in Professional Sports.

Exact same could be said for Sanchez but miraculously we got something for him. Someone will trade for him, but we won't get anything at all but that is fine with me.

The Rockies dumped some salary and handed us a bag of shit.

We would have been better served to avoid the trade, not take on salary, and call up anyone from AAA.

I don't have much in the way of a problem with Guthrie Deal. It was pretty much a wash and worth a shot for that sack of crap Sanchez.

Who is left to call up that is even remotely ready? Other than Odo of course who should probably be here now despite innings pitched.

There are still so many GMs that don't pay attention to advanced stats, I'm sure they can find someone who would be foolish enough to trade SOMETHING potentially useful for Francouer (or take him on as part of a trade for Mijares or Broxton).

Prime Candidates:

Brian Sabean - worst GM in baseball, in my opinion. Has survived only due to tremendous luck in the MLB draft.

Jack Z in Seattle

And I'm sure several others.
