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:
If you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

There was an article last week on CBS in which the writer quoted a royals official saying kc would sign a "real" starting pitcher in the offseason.

Probably about 30 pages back now.

That's what having one of the best farm systems in baseball is for. The fact that we haven't used these resources to facilitate more trades, preferring instead to watch prospects whither and die, is beyond moronic.

Every time I see that this thread has been updated, I click on it hoping to see that Broxton, Frenchy or Betancourt (or all 3 ) has been traded.

I'm the exact same way, I hope on a daily basis that we somehow unload Broxton or Frenchy.

An overview of Royals Changes since 1998. This is not comprehensive, just the highlights. Personally I think the Greinke/Betancourt trade was a good one, except that we ended up getting Betancourt back....
Also including guys who were allowed to walk as free agents:

Royal Changes:
1998: Jose Offerman went Free Agent to Boston Red Sox.
2001: Traded Damon to Oakland for Angel Berroa, AJ Hinch and Roberto Hernandez.
2001: Traded Jermaine Dye to Colorado for Neifi Perez.
2003: Raul Ibanez went Free Agent to Seattle.
2004: Traded Beltran to Houston for Mark Teahen, Mike Wood and John Buck.
2005: Waived Joel Peralta. Now pitches for Tampa Bay.
2006: Traded JP Howell to Tampa Bay for Fernando Cortez and Joey Gathright.
2007: Mike Sweeney went Free Agent to Oakland.
2008: Traded Leo Nunez (Juan Oviedo) to Miami for Mike Jacobs.
2009: Miguel Olivo went Free Agent to Colorado Rockies.
2009: John Buck went Free Agent to Toronto.
2009: Traded Mark Teahen to Chisox for Chris Getz and Josh Fields.
2009: Coco Crisp went Free Agent to Oakland.
2010: Traded Callaspo to Anaheim for Sean O'Sullivan and Will Smith.
2010: Traded Jose Guillen to SF Giants for Kevin Pucetas.
2010: Traded David DeJesus to Oakland for Justin Marks and Vin Mazzaro.
2010: Traded Greinke and Betancourt to Milwaukee for Escobar, Cain, Jeffress and Odorizzi.

Thank you for reminding me of this. God bless the Latin American players. You never know what you're going to get. Some may be 5+ years older than they say. Some might not even be who they say they are.

That looked like an AWFUL deal for a year or two after the deal. Nunez was quickly made the Marlin’s closer and wasn’t half bad at all (constantly reminding me of the amazing bullpen we had with Grienke, Riske, Dotel, Soria, Nunez, and I think Ramon Ramirez – 3 closers and a cy young winner). Jacobs was pathetic.
