Royals 2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread - Page 393

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:

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.

The super sad thing about all of this: Mijares may have the most value of all four of those guys.

Looks like Guthrie was DM's big SP acquisition.

Weeeeee.

This franchise isn't even skilled enough to suck a dick. It can look at it, but it can't suck it.

Which is why they are saying the Royals shouldn't trade him dumbass. No one has said we could get that kind of haul for Butler. They are saying it should take that kind of haul to move him. Those are completely different things or can you not comprehend that?

****... the tigers got Omar Infante in that deal too. He's under control through 2013 as well. At least they will have to pony up for Sanchez

The revenue from post-season play should more than cover it.

Revenue from post-season play? What the **** is that?

Captain Obvious · 07-23-2012, 07:33 PM

So what is Wil Myers doing? What he does best. Not hit HRs for the Royals.

Omaha Storm Chasers ‏@omastormchasers

Wil Myers belts a 2-run homer, his 16th with Omaha and 29th of the year, to put the Chasers on top, 2-1, in the 6th.

Don't need him. Dayton's son is a -2.4 WAR player, so we're set. But he makes "defensive contributions," right? Bullshit. His defense is worse than his offense: -1.9 dWAR.

Just imagine if Moore would've traded Myers for Jurrjens...YIKES...

Shocked he didn't to be honest.

Had he done that, and Myers played as well for Atlanta as he has in Omaha, DM would have had to leave in the dark of night. He'd have been strung up if he showed his face. That would be a Dye/Neifi level fail, perhaps worse.
