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:

When the pinch runner comes in for Billy we'll know where the call came from.

Washington will probably let Ned toy with the batting lineup. Imagine all the changes he can make in an All Star Game

No clue, but I was thinking about Starling in light of Rany's recent comments about Bryce Harper.
I would be more than willing to trade Starling and Zimmer right now for proven, young talent. If we could turn back the clock, it would absolutely by a mistake not to move the likes of Montgomery, Dwyer, Duffy, and Lamb. Trade one. Trade all. Doesn't matter. This incessant infatuation with prospects is absolutely ridiculous. We could have packaged two of the above pitchers + ancillary pieces to acquire a legit ML starter. Create two packages and get two high-quality pitchers back. And the dynamic of the team is completely different, as well as our realistic hope for the future. |
