In his prime Pena made up for low batting averages with tons of walks and home runs, averaging 34 homers and 95 walks per season from 2007-2011 while producing an .871 OPS during that span. He finishes with 286 homers, one Gold Glove award, one All-Star appearance, and nearly $50 million in career salary.
