Past Fantasy Outlooks

2007

2006

2003

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.

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."

Widger will back up Jorge Posada for the Yankees this season and supply a modicum of pop for a second catcher.

Widger (pinched nerve) underwent another MRI test Friday that didn't reveal any more damage beyond a bulging disc that's caused a pinched nerve in his shoulder, the Baltimore Sun reports. Widger experienced numbness in his arm whenever he sat down, but said his condition has improved enough that he could play this weekend.
