A World Series Champion with the Atlanta Braves in 1995, Ryan Klesko was traded to the San Diego Padres before the millennium.  Klesko was a decent power hitter with the Braves, and that is what he continued as a Padre. 

In the first two seasons with San Diego, Klesko continued his Home Run hitting with 26 and 30 respectively, but had 23 Stolen Bases in both years, an astounding achievement considering his previous high was six.  Klesko also went to his first All-Star Game that year.  Klesko had another two years with over 20 Home Runs but afterward began to miss games due to ailments and lost a bit of bat speed.

After missing nearly all of 2006 due to a shoulder injury, he signed with San Francisco as a Free Agent but retired after an unproductive season.  He smacked 133 Home Runs with the Padres, had 786 Hits, and batted .279.
