Vidro continued to produce over the seasons, earning All-Star selections in 2002 and 2003, continuing to bring in a good bat with solid fielding. Vidro set career highs in walks and OBP in 2003, helping the Expos out when they were without superstar Vladimir Guerrero to challenge for the National League wild card race, which they fell just short of in a tough NL East division.
