MLB journeyman Joaquin Arias has done well for the Diamondbacks this spring.
Arias has gone 6-for-16 so far in ten spring games. He will likely begin the season in Triple-A, a place where he has played 448 of his 1,484 career pro games. Arias spent much of his career bouncing from the minors to the majors before stringing together a few productive seasons as a part-timer on two Giants World Series teams.
His eternal legacy, however, will not be the two World Series. Nor will it be his time in the minor leagues. It will be his status as a historical footnote in the Alex Rodriguez trade: When the Rangers took Arias over Robinson Cano.
