Found November 05, 2009 on Mets Fever: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Miguel Olivo
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals

I've already posted on the Royals catchers, this is simply an up-date. Miguel Olivo would be a solid option for our catching vacancy but if the Royals keep him then they may need to move either Pena or Buck. The Royals have three days to decide on Olivo's option which is 3.3M, if they pick-it up but he declines ( mutual option) then he gets 100k buyout...Olivo, 31, had a career-best and club-leading 23 homers last season and exhibited better defense in the closing weeks but still batted only .249 with a .292 on-base percentage. He also grades out below average on most defensive metrics. source Kansas City Star
