SSH2005 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 http://suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-cowley27.html GOOD REP: Pitcher Mark Buehrle, who labeled himself the "worst player representative in the game'' the last few years, finally pawned that responsibility off on a teammate. Reserve catcher Chris Widger will be the team's acting player representative and seemed excited about his new title. "I pretty much did it last year anyway, so there's no real difference,'' Widger said. "I've done it before in Montreal. It's actually easier for someone that doesn't play every day to handle it, so you have time to take care of certain problems. I don't mind doing it. I like to know what's going on. We didn't always have that when Mark was doing it.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 And with that announcement, Kenny Williams relaxed and knew his team's chance for a repeat was all but assured, the last piece of the puzzle was laid . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Wow! Let's see how many nicknames we can come up for Widger... The Widge, Widgey, Widegenator, Widgemeister, Widgenerator, Widgerator... can't think of any more. I've been a widge fan since he hit that homer off of Randy Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle didn't really count though, he may have held the title of player rep but he didn't really do any of the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
