. . All-Decade Outfield. . player. 127.

Will Venable, Outfield

Will Venable was a must on this list, as he played in San Diego for eight years while having an OBP of over .315 and an OPS of over .720.

In five of his eight years with the club, he showed that he was reliable, playing in over 120 games.

2013 was his best season in a Padre uniform, hitting 22 homers with nearly a .800 OPS.

Chris Denorfia, Outfield

Chris Denorfia played five seasons with the San Diego Padres and was a solid top of the order bat. Over his five years, he hit .275 with over 50 stolen bases.

He possessed an on-base percentage north of .300 in each of his four full seasons with the Friars in addition to working at least 25 walks.

Cameron Maybin, Outfield

Cameron Maybin was another fan favorite when he spent four years with the Padres. I think his career really blossomed when he came to San Diego, as Detroit and Miami didn’t give him a solid chance to play there, but he was given that chance in San Diego.

He wasn’t a power hitter but he was known for his defense and his speed on the bases. In his first year, he stole 40 bases in 2011 and 26 in 2012.

Wil Myers wasn’t included, as he hasn’t really consistently played in the outfield in his tenure with the Padres and part of that was due to his position switch from the outfield to first base before Eric Hosmer came to town.
