 Miguel Olivo-C - Royals Nov. 4 - 9:15 pm et

The Royals will make decisions regarding the options for Miguel Olivo, Coco Crisp and Yasuhiko Yabuta following the World Series.
Crisp and Yabuta have $500,000 buyouts on their contracts. The Royals have five days after the World Series to decide whether to exercise their options for 2010, but it really shouldn't take that long, even for Dayton Moore. While the Royals could decide to bring the rehabbing Crisp back on a new incentive-laden deal, Olivo's case is a bit more complicated. He has a $3.3 million option for 2010, so even if the Royals are willing to bring him back, Olivo may choose to become a free agent. Olivo batted .249/.292/.490 with 23 homers, 65 RBI and a .781 OPS in 390 at-bats this season. The Royals must decide within three days of the World Series to bring him back.

 Miguel Olivo-C - Royals Sep. 18 - 10:52 pm et

Miguel Olivo slugged two homers and drove in a career-high six runs in a win over the White Sox on Friday night.
Functioning as the club's designated hitter, Olivio hit his 22nd home run -- a two-run shot -- off Mark Buehrle in the sixth inning and later added his 23rd -- another two-run shot -- off Jhonny Nunez in the eighth. With a .251/.286/.505 line to go along with 23 bombs and 64 RBI, some team is sure to overpay for services over the winter.
 Miguel Olivo-C - Royals Sep. 11 - 11:00 pm et

Miguel Olivo hit a go-ahead solo home run in a 2-1 win over the Royals in 12 innings on Friday night.
Olivo provided all the offense for the Royals on Friday night, driving in the club's first run with an RBI groundout in the fourth inning, and then the decisive solo blast in the 12th. Olivo may have an underwhelming .249/.279/.476 line, including 10 walks in 347 at-bats, but he leads the team with 19 home runs.
 Miguel Olivo-C - Royals Aug. 11 - 11:57 pm et

Miguel Olivo finished a double short of the cycle in Tuesday's 14-6 romp over the Twins.
Olivo was 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored. Most shocking of all, perhaps, is that he managed to draw a walk. Olivo's big day pushed his batting line to .246/.279/.486.
 Brayan Peña-C - Royals Jul. 29 - 10:02 am et  

Brayan Pena has been given four of the Royals' last six starts at catcher.
"We want to see more of what we’ve got," manager Trey Hillman said. "He hasn’t really ever had an opportunity at this level to catch with any consistency. ... He’s not fundamentally sound, at times, in the blocking of the balls." Pena offers similar offensive production to John Buck and Miguel Olivo, so it's not like the Royals are throwing games away.
