To me, who's option it is is very important. I never view player options as being a good thing for a club. Seems to me, if a player accept a player option, then he most likely has not lived up to his contract. If a player has out performed his contract, he's probably going to reject the option year. Basically a no-win situation for the team. I'm very glad that they are guaranteeing that they get Gallardo another year or so but, and I know some will disagree, to me this point to further evidence that they are pessimistic about signing Fielder.
