Bengie Molina thinks it's time Major League Baseball starts giving more opportunities to Hispanic managerial candidates.

Molina added that he'd love to manage a club one day. He played 12 seasons in the Major Leagues and served as an assistant hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals and a first-base coach for the Texas Rangers.

Asked whether he thinks there should be more opportunities for Hispanic managers, Molina, who is from Puerto Rico, said, "Of course, man," and mentioned Sandy Alomar Jr., Joey Cora, Edwin Rodriguez and Jose Oquendo as other qualified candidates.

"We've got so many guys who understand the game very, very well, and I think they could do it," Molina said.
