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:

I'm one of those casual fans when it comes to baseball so I don't know a lot about other pitchers around the league, so can anyone explain to me why Matt Garza is such a hot trade commodity? Seems like he's more of a #3 or #4 pitcher. Maybe #2, but that's only because of how poor our rotation is.

Matt Garza is a solid starter who won't break the bank or mortgage the future.

Rumors I've heard were 5 years, $75 million is what they were looking for. No one was willing to go that many years or at that salary. THus the one-year deal with an NL team to try to inflate value.

Escobar through 2017 (team option) Butler through 2015 Gordon just signed an extension that controls him through 2016 Hosmer and Moustakas are controlled through at least 2017, though Hosmer probably will hit arbitration after next season rather than 2014.

Garza, who’s been tied to nearly all of the American League East teams this season, has an unspectacular ERA of 4.04 but a solid WHIP of 1.121. The 28-year-old is earning $9.5 million this season, has another year of eligibility remaining and can reach free agency following the 2013 campaign.http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2012/6/1...-jays-mlb-2012 |

Despite last nights game, I'm glad they made the right decision.

Probably were trying to trade him which is why they were holding on to him. Finally gave up.

While I agree...the Royals were desperate with Sal and Pína both hurt.
I'm not sure, to be honest, if the Royals had any better options. Not sure what other catchers were available at the time. Let us celebrate that he's no longer here!!!! |
