Andy Benes began his Major League career with the San Diego Padres in 1989, a year after they took him with the First Overall Pick in the Amateur Draft.
Benes was fifth in Rookie of the Year voting, going 6-3 with a 3.51 ERA in ten Starts, and over the next five years, he was the Padres top Pitcher. He won 15 Games in both 1991 and 1993, the latter year earning him a trip to the All-Star Game. After struggling in 1995, Benes was traded to Seattle, and as a Padre, he won 69 Games against 75 Losses with 1,036 Strikeouts.
