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:

Meh, they were just trying to keep up with the Royals offense. I won't shit my pants quite yet.

No way it is a good deal for the Royals, I still have some optimism though. If we had a legit shot to win the division before, we still have a fighting chance now.

Sure would be nice if Montgomery came up and did his best (insert name of instant stud pitcher) impression, though. |

I hate the fact that I am going to have to watch him wear out our pitching staff for the next 5 years (his productive years). This move (no injuries) gives them this division by 10 games.

Whether the Tigers overpaid or not is irrelevant. That signing changes the AL Central immediately with the on-field talent.
I would love it if GMDM responded with a blockbuster trade for a front-line starter as if to say "It's on, Tigers." Ahhhhhhhhhhh, back to reality. Still love our team's progress, but this hurts us. |
