"I want to see the San Diego Padres win a championship, Hernández said. And, man, I got too close. Too close as a player, and even here, too, as a broadcaster. But I want to make it as a manager."
"I want to be a champion in San Diego. I want to be a champion manager, Hernández said. I (won) as a player. And I don't want to have just the name 'manager.' I want to have the name of a winning manager. ... I don't want to compare myself to somebody else, but I want to do it because I was born to play baseball, man. I come here to play baseball. All my years, all my career that I have in this beautiful country is baseball."
Carlos Hernández, a former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres catcher, is pursuing the San Diego Padres managerial position following Mike Shildt's unexpected resignation. Hernández debuted with the Dodgers in 1990, played in Los Angeles through 1996, joined the Padres in 1997, and reached the 1998 World Series. Hernández has worked 14 seasons as the primary Spanish-language color analyst and served as a catching coordinator for the Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks, managed a Mexican Summer League team, and managed Venezuelan winter-ball from 2006–08. Hernández expresses a strong desire to win a championship as a manager and to earn recognition as a winning leader.
