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:

How much of a kickass outfield would Bautista, Beltran, and Cabrera be right now LOL.
1. SS Escobar 2. CF Beltran 3. LF Cabrera 4. RF Bautista 5. DH Butler 6. 2B Moustakas (he has the range and is athletic enough to play the position) 7. 1B Hosmer 8. 3B Gordon (I believe he played here before, no reason he can't do it again to open up the OF for other, better bats) 9. C Perez Hey I can dream.....and make my own Royals franchises on video games

Gordon,Beltran,Bautista Gordon,escobar,XXXXX,Hosmer Perez need a 2nd baseman and then dump everything else into pitching of course the Royals would also have to spring for a spy camera in the stands for Bautista so he can keep hitting. ![]()

C prospect with lottery ticket upside. In other news... did anyone catch Danny Parkins interviewing David Glass this morning? Apparently, he asked Glass if he was selling the team (Glass said no, emphatically ![]() Glass walked out of the interview at that point...

Danny Parkins @DannyParkins
David Glass just put his microphone down and walked away after I started asking him a few financial questions about the #Royals |

Glass sounds like a complete out of touch D-Bag for just walking away though.

Glass was a dipshit...made for an awkward moment. He also said it's stupid to sell this team.
Seriously hate this man |

Can't say I blame Glass for walking away. I would do the same damn thing if somebody was badgering me about my finances on the air and trying to get me to sell my business.

Yesterday, Kietzman was floating the idea of flying a banner over the K, telling Glass to sell the team. |
