(Kansas City, MO) -- With the World Series now in the books, it's time for the Royals to make decisions on several players who have options for 2010. The Royals have to decide wether to pick up the contract options on catcher Miguel Olivo, outfielder Coco Crisp and reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta. General manager Dayton Moore has three days to make up his mind following the conclusion of the Fall Classic. Among those three, only Olivo figures to be a possibility to have his option exercised, but his is a mutual option meaning he coudl still opt to become a free agent. Crisp is coming off shoulder surgery on both shoulders and would make $8-million. Yabuta has been a major disappointment since being signed out of Japan and is due to make $4-million. Buyouts for both are $500-thousand apiece.
