2013
There was no outlook written for Chris Widger.
2007
Widger had an awful season, batting .172 for the White Sox and Orioles before ending his season early due to a painful pinched nerve. This might be the end of the road for Widger.
2006
Widger did for the White Sox exactly what you want from a backup catcher: work well with the staff, give the manager a platoon option, and make himself a fan favorite with the occasional timely hit. A couple more seasons of that, and he'll be hosting his own Chicago area TV show, "Widge's Pitches."
2003
Widger will back up Jorge Posada for the Yankees this season and supply a modicum of pop for a second catcher.
