re: lowe on picking up option for Rivers

I've never thought he was quite the a-hole a lot of posters do. He's just an introverted guy who's had what appear to be legitimate injury issues. I think he wants to prove something this year (and, frankly, I don't care why just as long as he plays well).

It's cool to hate, though.

I don't really see how this article is relevant until we see him this season

Because that's how the rules are set up. The team has to decide on picking up his option for next year now (October 31st is the deadline). Remember back 2 years ago when before the season (October 30, 2012) the team picked up the option on Vasquez but declined the options on Henry and Aminu. LINK
