I have one card of Jason Arnold, from 2003 DAV.
Playing career: Jason Arnold was the Yankees' #2 pick in the
2001 draft. He was traded to Oakland the following year in the Ted Lilly trade,
and less than a year later traded again to Toronto. Injuries cut his career
short before he could make the major leagues; He was 29-26 with a 3.33 ERA in
136 minor league games.
Where he is now: He’s the pitching coach at Georgia State
and, judging from his picture on his web bio, a very snappy dresser.
My memories: Only know him from his card. I remember the Ted
Lilly trade – I thought he would be pretty good and that’s basically what he
became – but I don’t remember the relatively anonymous minor-league throw-in.
Google Autocomplete Results: He is eighth when you type
Jason Ar, between Jason Aronowitz, recently arrested for a shooting in
Pennsylvania, and Jason Armstrong Beck, a photographer. When you google Jason
Arnold there are seven links before the ballplayer, referring to a photographer,
a painter, a musician, and a furniture designer.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Scott Arnold.
