Woody Williams' MLB career

The University of Houston alumnus started his career by pitching in relief for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993. On Dec. 12, 1998, he was traded to the San Diego Padres for the right-handed pitcher Joey Hamilton, along with minor leaguers Peter Tucci and Carlos Almanzar.

With the Padres, Woody Williams was the starting pitcher, going 8-8 with an ERA of 4.97 across 23 starts. He was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Ray Lankford on Aug. 2, 2001, and finished 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 11 starts, getting selected for the 2003 All-Star Game.

He spent the next two seasons (2005–06) with the Padres before signing a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Astros ahead of the 2007 season. However, dismal performances in 2007 led to his release by the Astros, ending his playing career.
