Originally signed by the Colorado Rockies in 1993, Peña made his professional debut with the AZL Rockies in 1994.

He also finished the season with 48 stolen bases and 92 runs scored, both of which led the Carolina League. As a result, the Colorado Rockies called him up to the major leagues. He made his debut on September 2, 2000, and played in 10 games for the team. Just before the 2001 season began, Peña was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers along with Mike DeJean, Mark Leiter for Kane Davis, Juan Acevedo, and Jose Flores.
