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:

Yes. He owns lefties, and the two best arms in the East are CC and Price. The fact that you're suggesting that the Central is far lesser in quality is farcical.

He's just trolling you guys. If Butler played for Baltimore he'd be comparing him to Edgar Martinez.
That said, Butler would kill it in Camden Yards. |

I would, because Bundy is dirt cheap while Butler gets 28M or something the next 3 years.
In terms of player value it's hard to know what Bundy would get on the open market. Wil Myers - his direct comp in terms of prospect profile - can't seem to even garner 2 years of James Shields. So it's likely Bundy wouldn't get all that much in a trade. |

Butler had like a 950 OPS vs the AL East outside of Toronto. Vs. them he only had a 242 OPS. Since Toronto has by far the best pitching in that division (snicker), it would make sense he'd have to go there so he could feast on the rest. That seems to be the O's fans argument here.

The same Toronto that just acquired Buehrle, whom Butler always struggles against. Barely hitting over .500 against him during his career.

Yep, and Butler is dirt cheap, relatively speaking.
