Albuquerque Isotopes manager Warren Schaeffer can’t pick the personnel on his roster.
But the 36-year-old former minor league middle infielder knows he can control one thing with every team he oversees.
“I would never manage a team where we didn’t talk about (defense) all the time,” Schaeffer said Tuesday. “That’s a fact. I mean, every team is different. … but I put a lot of emphasis on defense. We do a lot of defense at home — a lot of early work (before games) defensively.
