I know that for many, if not most, Dodger fans the name Jason Schmidt is one we'd rather forget. He was a huge bust for us, and an expensive one at that.
After the 2006 season, we signed Schmidt to a 3-year, $47 million free agent contract. As you surely know, he ended up pitching only a total of 10 games over that 3-year span; going 3-6 with a 6.02 ERA. Arm problems that cropped up early in the 2007 season was the poison that lead to his downfall.
As a Dodger fan, I have a mission to acquire an autographed card of every player to ever put on a Dodger uniform. This is a long and arduous task that requires that I even get a card of this guy. So, please don't be mad at me.
Featured here is a 2007 Topps Trading Places autographed card of Jason Schmidt. Unfortunately, it also happens to show him in Giants Halloween orange; which would normally be a hanging offense around these parts. But, what is a collector to do? I don't run into signed cards of his very often, and it was cheap (like $6.00 delivered cheap).
At least I'll never have to get another one for my collection.

ReplyDeleteI just purchased (wont blog about for awhile as too much in que) Andruw Jones.
Now that one is more of a hateable offense than Jason here. At least he tried.
Nice pick up either way
Wow... Andruw Jones... You're right, he's worst... And ya know what, I need a Jones too... dammit!
