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:

It would be hard for Kyle Davies to get a "max effort" injury.

Maybe in his neck as he snaps his head around to watch the ball fly out of the park.

I'm convinced "our time" will be the last thing I say before I kick the stool out from under me.

What!??? I wake up to this!? Unbelievable.
Just like Berry, Charles & Moeaki with ACLs. Soria, Duffy & now Paulino with Tommy John. Arguably our 2 best starting pitchers out until what, July or August of next year? Horrible luck.

. Typical luck. But remember when some in the FO were saying there really wasn't room in the rotation for a guy like Edwin Jackson? Oops. |

Would the Royals be interested in a stop gap solution or a long term solution at the trading deadline?

Definitely could be. It's ironic that it would be preferable to believe that our GM struggles to identify ML talent.

Probably neither. DM has already said that he won’t mortgage the future for short-term success, and they won’t trade their 2 top prospects, which is what it would take to get a long-term solution.
