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.

Here's a very svelte George Brett. This first pic was before they let the crowd on the field. When they brought George out during the actual festivities a huge crush people - seriously, like a 1,000 moved toward him and nearly mobbed him. Security had to take him back inside through the Royals bullpen. Which was in RF at the time.

Here's a couple of Duke Wathan mugging it up for my Mom. He apparently was distant relative. He got just enough of the family genetic baseball skills to be a marginal MLB player. Lucky ****.

YES!!!! CAIN IS ACTIVE!!!!

Royals activate Cain, Getz from disabled list
BY BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star

Center fielder Lorenzo Cain and second baseman Chris Getz will be available for duty Friday when the Royals resume their season with the start of a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

The Royals activated Cain and Getz from the disabled list Monday morning after confirming infielder Irving Falu and right-handed pitcher Nate Adcock had been optioned to Class AAA Omaha in corresponding space-clearing moves.

Cain’s return comes after missing three months because of a strained left groin and a torn left hip flexor. The groin injury occurred April 10 while making a catch in Oakland; he tore his hip flexor on April 24 while on a rehab assignment at Class AA Northwest Arkansas.

Getz also missed significant time in the season’s first half because of two injuries. A bruised left ribcage forced him to the disabled list for three weeks in late May, and he suffered a muscle strain in his lower left leg on June 17 – just five days after his return.

Cain was two for 15 in five games prior to his injury. Getz batted .290 with a .327 on-base percentage in 36 games when healthy.

Falu was three for 10 in three games following his June 18 recall from Omaha to replace Getz. Falu also replaced an injured Yuniesky Betancourt on the big-league roster from May 3 to June 1. Overall, Falu is batting .321 (17 for 53) in 15 games.

For Adcock, the move continues his season-long shuttle between the Royals and Omaha. He has been recalled five times and optioned back five times since opening the season in the minors. He is 0-3 in 10 big-league games with a 2.67 ERA in 30 1/3 innings.

International signings

The Royals continue to mine Venezuela for young talent by signing two 16-year-old pitchers less than a week after signing a 16-year-old third baseman.

The latest additions are right-hander Julio Pinto and lefty Junior Reyes. Baseball America reported Pinto received a $375,000 bonus, while Reyes got $155,000. The Royals recently signed third baseman Samir Duenez for $425,000.

Pinto joined Duenez last month in the Dominican Prospect League’s Perfect Game International Series and was picked as the MVP in the showcase’s all-tournament game. Baseball America reports he throws 88-92 mph with developing secondary pitches.

Reyes throws 87-89 mph but, according to Baseball America draws praise for his command.

I think this is Andy Hassler. I'm guessing though. It sure looks like him. But these pics are 35 years old. So cut me some slack.

My good friend Galen Cisco. Good pitching coach. Followed Whitey around like Art Fowler follwed Billy Martin. He would always plead with us to not feed the players in the bullpen. Sorry Galen, we wanted baseballs and stuff.

Kansas Sampler or Rally House (I think on that one) have everything you need whether it's clothing, tools, or grill covers.
