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:

Twins camp is off to a horrible start. Morneau seems very pessimistic about his concussion problems and his ability to continue to play baseball.
http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...rself-so-long/ And today there are reports that Zumaya cut a throwing session short and walked off with the head trainer. Apparently he felt "something" in his arm. |

Crow is going to end up in AAA starting or in the bullpen at the bigs unless he absolutely wows this spring. If Mendoza has even a solid spring he'll be in the rotation to start the year, he has no options left.. they're gonna see if they've hit a late gem before letting him walk (see Jose Bautista). If he's horrible in Spring then they'll let him walk, but average or better will garner an extended look into the season. Duffy is more than likely gonna be in AAA, as well... Or we may see one of the guys go on the DL to start the year, depending on what the royals can cook up and how the spring plays out.
My projections: 1. Sanchez 2. Hochevar 3. Chen 4. Paulino 5. Mendoza Crow to AAA as a starter. Duffy will either be in AAA, Rotation, or will be the 5th starter if one of the others starts on the DL.

In all seriousness though, we should be awarded medals for sticking through all these rough seasons. |
