So then a follow up question would be why bother investing much in a ML coaching staff, wouldn't AAA and AA be the most important since your highest value prospects are doing the most developing there? And why then does a fielding coach matter so much assuming most players on the big league staff are for the most part done developing? (Okay that's two questions)...
Fielding coaches affect all levels of your organization - not just the majors.
And if you have young (under 26-27) or aging (33+) stars on your team, coaches can help improve development/halt decline. But yes, good minor league coaches are helpful, if you can get them.
