Vidro targeting 160 games in 2006 Nationals second baseman Jose Vidro said his goal is to play 160 games in 2006. If he reaches that plateau, it will be the first time since 2002 that Vidro was injury free.Fat chance. He only played in 87 games last year and 110 in 2004.
Personally, I've always like Vidro. I felt sorry for him when he played for Montreal, because he was the best second baseman for awhile but received zero attention. I liked his leadership last year with the Nats, too, but he was only on the field half the year. (Oddly, his return to the diamond coincided with the Nats' collapse in the second half.) Good luck, Jose. A return to form would be welcome.
I suppose this is why Bowden feels the need to sign every aged has-been infielder to minor league contracts and Soriwhino, too. There are plenty who can fill Vidro's spot when he goes down again. Frankly, Carroll did a damn good job last year taking the role. Poor guy is forgotten in all of this infield mess.
Pray Vidro's health can give him those 160 games.
