Juan Miguel Padilla (born February 17, 1977 in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) is a Major League Baseball player and relief pitcher for the New York Mets.
[edit] MLB career
Padilla was a 24th round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins. He spent six seasons in the Twins' minor league system before breaking into the majors with the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds in 2004. Although not highly successful with either team, he was signed by the Mets and responded with a fantastic 1.49 earned run average in the second half of 2005. Padilla had Tommy John surgery in March 2006 and had to miss the 2006 season.
