The 2010s was a weird decade for the San Diego Padres. Besides 2010, the Friars did not post a winning record, and mediocrity became the standard for them.

Despite their piles of struggle as a club, there still needed to be at least one All-Star to represent the Padres. With the 2025 All-Star Game fast approaching, the Padres are sending Jason Adam, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Robert Suarez, and Adrian Morejon to the Midsummer Classic. Before that game, let's take a look at some of the weird/random/strange/forgettable Padres All-Stars from the 2010s.

2012: Huston Street

Huston Street had a terrific career spanning 13 MLB seasons, but does anyone really remember him as a San Diego Padre? He was a rookie sensation with Oakland in 2005, winning Rookie of the Year honors, then sort of mellowed out as a decent reliever until his arrival to San Diego in 2012.

He boasted 1.85 ERA, donning 23 saves and a wild 0.718 WHIP in his first season with the Padres. This was also Street's first-ever All-Star nod.

2013: Everth Cabrera

Cabrera amassed a career 5.1 bWAR. He garnered 2.9 of that in 2013, batting .283 with a career-high 113 OPS+, 108 hits, and 31 RBIs. He was a .291 hitter in the first half, and the Padres were hopeful that this would be a breakout season for Cabrera, but he ran into some trouble with the law, and was hit with a 50-game suspension.

He fizzled out, and played his last game in 2015.

2014: Tyson Ross, Huston Street (again!)

Street garnered his second and final All-Star appearance of his career in 2014. Doing so with the Padres, Street had a 1.09 ERA in 33 innings, backed by another impressive 0.758 WHIP.

Street was immediately traded after the All-Star break to the Los Angeles Angels, along with Trevor Gott in exchange for Taylor Lindsey, R.J. Alvarez, Jose Rondon, and Elliot Morris.

As for Tyson Ross, 2014 was really the only solid season of his career. He sparkled to a 2.81 ERA with with 195 strikeouts and 13 wins. He followed up the next season with decent numbers, but his walk rate got too out of control.

Ross would never go to the All-Star Game again.

2015: Justin Upton

Justin Upton had a marvelous MLB career with six total teams across 16 seasons. He spent just one year in San Diego, but he made the All-Star team in his only stint as a Padre.

It was his third of four All-Star appearances. In 2015, he accrued a 4.1 bWAR, which was the third-highest mark of his career. In 150 games, Upton blasted 26 home runs, roped 26 doubles and three triples, and stole 19 bases.

He elected for free agency following the 2015 season and signed with the Detroit Tigers.

2017 and 2018: Brad Hand

Brad Hand pitched for 13 seasons, but he had a smaller window of dominance. He appeared in three straight All-Star Games, including two of them with the Padres.

He spent his first five seasons with the Marlins, and there was nothing very special about him. Then in 2017 and 2018, he posted a 2.16 and 2.75 ERA, respectively. However, the Padres felt they squeezed every bit of talent out of Hand, and they traded him to Cleveland for Francisco Mejia.

Hand would appear in the 2018 All-Star Game with Cleveland, but never returned to his best version moving forward.
