Padres All Star Performances of the Past Decade

I'm not too disappointed that the Padres only have one representative on the All Star Team. These are the same players that continually say they aren't interested in individual accomplishments, so I'll take them at their word.
If you do want to cast your final votes for Heath Bell, don't let me stop you. [cough] He's in last place, it's hopeless!
Like Heath Bell says, they'll just have to prove how good they are by going out and winning the World Series. If that's how it's got to be...
While it is an honor, I'd hate to see any of our pitchers waste an inning pitching in an overly commercialized exhibition game. They need their rest. Plus our pitching hasn't exactly been lights out in past All Star games, in fact it's been embarrassing.
I went back through all the All Star Games in Baseball Reference to revisit the Padres performances of the past decade. I wanted to see if the Padres were as bad as I remembered.
I clearly remember Hoffman being hammered a few times but for the life of me I could not remember who was our 2003 All Star representative. I must have looked at the line up for 10 minutes without recognizing his name.
Anyway I thought this was interesting. Take a look.

I blame Jason Werth for the triple in last year's All Star Game.
Charlie Manuel had him playing center field.

And based upon our performance this year
I think we want the AL to win the all star game. We have a great road record.
You forgot to note "Losing Pitcher"
next to CY in 2007.
Can’t blame 2008 NL loss on a Padre, though. In fact, it was SD’s Adrian Gonzalez who hit the go-ahead run (sac-fly) for the NL in the 8th, a lead which was blown by. . .2010 ASG candidate Billy Wagner!
Heath Bell currently ranking 5th--dead last-- in ASG voting.
I’m doing all I can to vote Heath, even though it seems to be a lost cause against the competition. (Although it seems like he should at LEAST be beating the Rockies’ Carlos Gonzalez.)
I don’t really care about the fan vote for the AL, so I’m simultaneously voting for the Twins’ Delmon Young with every Heath vote since he’s also coming in last place in voting for the AL.
"I'd hate to see any of our pitchers waste an inning"
This.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

This too
It is not just the inning – it’s the travel, disruption of schedule and they are missing the only break they get until we sweep the NLCS before the Series.

I love it when Padres fans get like this.
Makes me feel less insane for thinking the same things.
I need new pants.
Rondell White doesnt make my top 1000 of former Padres Players that ever come to my mind
Rotoworld has Bell #9 as relief pitchers.
If I pick it, I flick it

True Story
Rondell White had as many HRs halfway through the 2003 season as Adrian has halfway through the 2010.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

True Story
Until I looked at it myself, I forgot Rondell White was ever on the team.

Rondell
was a Royal for about 5 minutes (total of 22 games) back in 2003. He was traded by San Diego Padres to Kansas City Royals in exchange for Chris Tierney and
Brian Sanches (August 26, 2003).

Say what?
“He was traded by San Diego Padres to Kansas City Royals”
that looks right to me.

Has a Padre not named Tony Gwynn
ever done anything of significance in an all star game?

Scored the walk off run in 1972 in the 10th inning after walking, getting sacrificed to 2nd and then Joe Morgan drove him in.

Tony's '94 winning run was extremely awesome, though

I wish Hoffman were a hitter and those were his stats.

Hoffman's All-Star E.R.A.
is even worse than his regular season e.r.a. this year. Sad.
