He required season-ending surgery to treat a congenital knee condition.
Hidalgo blossomed in 2000, when he hit .314 with 44 home runs and 122 RBIs.

He set a Mets record by homering in 5 consecutive games.
Hidalgo hit .239 with 25 homers and 82 RBIs for the season.
Hidalgo, a free agent, signed with the Texas Rangers for the 2005 season.

Hidalgo requested to be released from his contract, allowing to him to go to Japan where he would have a starting role.
In the 2006 off-season, the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs reportedly showed interest in signing Hidalgo.

This second tenure was short-lived, as Hidalgo was released by the Astros on March 25, 2007, after refusing a minor league assignment.
Hidalgo was a Major League .269 lifetime hitter with 171 home runs and 560 RBIs in 987 games.
Defensively, he recorded a .987 fielding percentage playing at all three outfield positions.
