A Rule 5 Draft Pick from Pittsburgh, Bip Roberts had to stay with the Padres for the entirety of the 1986 Season, where he was used mostly out of the dugout as a Pinch Hitter, Pinch Runner, or defensive Replacement.  He returned to the Minors over the next two years, returning as a starter in 1989.

Roberts batted .301 in 117 Games in 1989 and had his best year with San Diego the year after, batting .309 with 172 Hits and 46 Stolen Bases.  After a down year, Roberts was traded to Cincinnati but would return as a Free Agent in 1994 for two more years before being traded again to Kansas City.

With the Padres, Roberts stole 148 Bases, had 673 Hits, and batted .298.

After two years with the Texas Rangers, Chris Young was traded to the San Diego Padres, the team he had his longest tenure.

Young threw over 170 Innings and struck out at least 160 batters in both of his first two seasons as a Padre, going to the All-Star Game in 2007 when he had a 9-8 Record with a 3.12 ERA.  Young dealt with injuries over the next three seasons and only appeared in 36 Games in this stretch.  He left San Diego for the Mets as a Free Agent in 2011.

With San Diego, Young went 33-25 with a 3.60 ERA and 489 Strikeouts.

Kevin McReynolds began his career with the Padres, debuting in 1983, the same year he won the Pacific Coast League MVP.  

From 1984 to 1986, McReynolds was a starting Outfielder for the San Diego, who was defensively excellent.  He twice led the NL among Outfielder in Range Factor per Game and was the 1984 league leader in Total Zone Runs.  Offensively, McReynolds had a low OBP, but his bat had pop, belting 65 Home Runs over his time in San Diego with an OPS of .790.

McReynolds was traded to the Mets after the 1986 Season, where he would later win a World Series Ring.

A second-generation MLB player and All-Ivy League player at Princeton, Will Venable played the first seven-and-a-half years of his nine-year career with the Padres. 

The Outfielder first earned a spot with the parent club in 2008, three years after he was drafted, but it would take until 2012 for him to gain his first 100 Hit year.  Venable only did that one more time, 2013, where he had career-highs in Hits (129), Home Runs (22), and Batting Average (.268), and realistically he was the fourth Outfielder as a Padre, but he brought the team depth in an important role for years.

Venable had 694 Hits as a Padre.
