Andy Ashby was traded during his third Major League Season from the expansion Colorado Rockies in 1993 to San Diego, and it was as a Padre where Ashby shone brightest.

The Righthanded Pitcher, who arrived as the "player to be named later," finished off '93 better than in Colorado, though considering he had an 8.50 ERA with the Rockies, that did not say much.  Ashby was much better in 1994 (6-11, 3.40 ERA), but in 1995, he cemented himself as a valuable part of the Padres staff, with a 12-10 Record and a 2.94 ERA.

Ashby had respectable years in 1996 and 1997 but broke out with All-Star seasons in 1998 and 1999 and was undoubtedly the staff ace.  These two years landed Ashby so high on this list, but it also led to his trade, as the small market Padres traded him to the Phillies before the 2000 Season.

Ashby had a 70-62 Record and 829 Strikeouts with the Padres.
