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.

Cubs not resting on their laurels continue trade discussions with Dodgers on deal that would send Matt Garza for package including Zach Lee



JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm

Cubs get excellent return in Randall Delgado for Dempster. Delgado will continue to develop into 15-game winner by 2014...both teams win!

Go away troll. We should not be buyers right now anyway. We should do our buying come winter. What we should be doing is selling some of our bullpen.

Glass will probably not buy two starters this winter, though, so being proactive in a trade wouldn't be the worst thing possible.

Rany mentioned in a tweet yesterday that DM should be kicking the tires on Jon Lester in a potential buy-low scenario. Additionally, Santana has been shitty for LAA, so that might be worth investigating.

Need some luck.

Exactly.

The only way they acquire the two starters needed is by getting one now or by being incredibly lucky and having a Santana or Millwood or Lester or etc. pan out.

The Dodgers are offering Zach Lee? That's nice. Here's Yordano Ventura + Cheslor Cuthbert + the first comp pick in next year's draft.

What up, Theo?

Yep. And from a purely selfish perspective, DM should be making this type of move because he has to be on the clock. Right? Perhaps I'm overestimating even Glass's mediocre level of interest?

Yeah, it should.

Would be worth more than 1.5 years of Garza except that Cuthbert has sucked this year (though his struggles are about on the same level as the struggles of Zach Lee for the Dodgers).

Ventura is a big helium guy, but he doesn't have the frame Lee does.

In a more humorous note... the Pirates offered Justin Wilson straight up for Billy Butler.

Reports of them low-balling teams with offers have been out there, but this one is especially bad.

"Give us your 26-year-old slugger who's controlled for 3.5 more seasons, and you'll get a 24-year-old lefty with middling success in the minors who has yet to make it to the bigs. Oh, and he walks a lot of guys."

Hilarious.

What a joke. It would take three of their top four (Taillon, Cole, Marte and Heredia) prospects plus a high-upside lottery ticket to move Butler.

I'd settle for James McDonald plus a lottery ticket.

I know Taillon and Cole have huge upside, but both have Hochevar-itis, in my opinion (results nowhere close to stuff).

btw, not sure if anyone is on twitter... but I'm trying to start a new hashtag for Royals fans: #StubbornDayton

If you're a fellow tweep, help me spread the hashtag love.
