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:

Then again, he's always been one of Dayton's golden boys so he probably assumed it'd happen here. |

Had this convo w/ a #Royals exec before the season: Me: You told Yuni he'd be a backup, right? Exec: Yes, but I don't know if he believes it

So Yuni was pissed about playing time? What was his expectation going into the year? What had management told him about the expectations at 2B?
![]() Dayton, if you're reading this post. First, dry off your keyboard. Second, please hire and listen to someone who understands sabermetrics. |

So, Dwyer is looking good tonight, even with errors creating an interesting inning here.

Ned was quite comically aggressive in his postgame interview about sending Yuni packing. Too bad he's about 2 months too late. Frenchy brought up about Sisson being fired without being asked about it. Dudes on the radio kind of implied that Frenchy was behind his firing (2 team meetings in the last couple of days). Sounds like a bunch of finger pointing going on behind closed doors. Will Ned survive till next season?
