    He played on all five teams in the National League West.
    He was part of an twelve player trade between the Astros and Padres that took place during the player's strike (1994).
    He didn't reach his potential in the majors until his trade to the Padres.
    Despite establishing himself as a regular for the Padres, the team allowed him to leave as a free agent in a salary dump move.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He established himself as an everyday player upon being traded to the Astros.
    He played in two World Series at the start and end of the Yankee three peat (1998, 2001).
    He missed a portion of Spring training after being diagnosed with Bell's Palsy (1993).
