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:

I can actually say I'm embarrassed to say I'm a fan of either team anymore.

Dayton's backing out of free agency signing already in October? Seems like just yesterday both him and glASS were saying the team would be competitive in trying to sign free agency pitchers. Oh my

While this is a perfectly valid feeling to have right now, we still have to see how things play out this off-season with the Royals. Those mother****ers might force me to give up on them, though, at least until Moore is fired or Glass dies.

I have a silly question. If the Royals are always strapped for cash, why don't they sell the naming rights of the stadium like the NFL does?

First, the Royals are not really strapped for cash. Glass is a lying, worthless mother****er. Even conservative, reasonable analysts like Rany claim that the Royals could easily support an $85M payroll in '13 and a $100M payroll in '14.
Claims otherwise are complete and utter bullshit. |

This thread is starting to read like Ned's lineup card after he's had a finger or three of Jameson.

Even the Royals acknowledge a new contract with right-hander Jeremy Guthrie is now unlikely before he hits the open market.
“I think it’s pretty safe to say he’s going to explore free agency,” general manager Dayton Moore said. “We’ll continue to monitor how that goes. He’s going to explore his options, and it’s important that we do as well.” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/10/27...#storylink=cpy |
