Omar Minaya, former general manager for the New York Mets and before that the Montreal Expos and dead-ringer for The Ladies Man guy's father, has been hired by the San Diego Padres as Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations. 

He will still be based at his East coast home but will travel extensively for player scouting.
