Baseball America ranked Wallach as the Pacific Coast League’s leading managerial prospect this season, and he joined manager Joe Torre’s staff on the Dodgers for the season’s final month.

Regardless of his future, Wallach’s past success as a leader is undeniable. Last year, his first in Albuquerque, Wallach led the Isotopes to a team-record 80 wins and a playoff spot. As a result, Wallach was named the PCL’s manager of the year.

But for Wallach, personal honours mean less than personal connections.

“I want players to feel like they can talk to me about anything,” he said. “The most important thing is making sure each guy, whether the first or the 25th guy on the roster, feels as if he’s an important part of the club.”

I think they used the name because of the Simpson's episode when they were going to move the Isotopes to Albuquerque
