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:

No fraternizing with the enemy... change first base coaches... these are the kinds of decisions that really make the difference at this point in the season. Frenchy and Yuni will be good now and the starting pitching is going to be all world. When Myers starts slumping too you guys are going to see just how forward thinking DM is.

I just don't understand DM's decision at all to leave Myers at AAA.

Then he needs to be fired. That's being as incompetent as you can possibly be. He has more HR's than half of our lineup combined, and Frenchy ****ass is playing some of the worst baseball in the majors this year.

Broxton picked up his first win for the Reds tonight setting up Chapman. He now has two holds and a win, and has allowed one baserunner in 3 appearances.

Who gives a shit? We got six years of control of some terrific pitching prospects.

I believe tk was just posting some info we might be interested in, not saying the trade was bad. Just the way I took it.

Who said otherwise? I just think it's funny that here's a guy who literally fumbled his way through almost every single inning on a tightrope for 4 months, he gets traded... and has pitched 3 flawless innings for pretty much the first time all season. Amazing how that works.
