If I can make a move that in some way holds the development or improvement of your team back, then advantage to me.

It is not MY job to ensure YOUR minor leaguers develop properly.   

THAT is what I said.

I try to get the best coach available.  Am I doing something wrong?

That's also a valid strategy.

It's not their job to develop your prospects.   One could actually argue that retarding the development of your prospects is a sound strategy.

No problem.   But I don't know what about this isn't clear.

"Their", "your".

You could very easily have been referring to the coaches Mike. I needed to read and re-read your post to see that you may have been referring to another owner.My misunderstanding.

No big deal.  But my response immediately followed a statement by shay82.   Of course, I knew who I was talking to and what we were talking about so maybe it's not as clear as I thought. 

Short version for those keeping score at home:   It's my belief that I don't care about the coaches you hire or how those coaches develop, or retard the development of, your prospects.  That's your problem not mine.

Do coaches at the ML level do much other than attract free agents?  Do they help stave off decline later in a player's career, or is that all about your training budget?  Because I just hired three minor league coaches for ML jobs this season (two from AAA, one from AA) to save money for my fielding coach.  All of my players at the ML level are done developing, so what is the benefit to chasing good ML coaches?  This is my first season with the strategy, and it might backfire, but I am wondering if others have input on the issue?
