Don't know if this has been mentioned in any of the previous suggestions posts but I'd love to see the addition of 3 new staff roles to aide in minor league development.

Hitting Director
Pitching Director

These can function similarly to the other staff positions where a Pitching Coach or Hitting Coach can be assigned to their respective Director roles to influence the overall hitting and pitching development in the associated minor league teams.

Fielding Director

The Fielding Director would follow a similar model but would look more like how a Bench/1B/3B coach can teach certain fielding positions better than others. You'd want a coach that is solid at all positions ideally, unless you want to focus on churning out great Catchers, or great Outfielders, and so on. Mechanically, it could even incorporate the user (GM) selecting certain position groups as the focus or selecting a more "all-around" style.

All three of these roles can utilize Handles Development, Influences Mechanics, and then their respective positional skills to influence the development process.

There could also be room to add Pitching Strategy and Hitting Strategy to the Manager Options screen, to replace Player Strategy, or be listed alongside it. So that these Directors can be assigned control over that area.

Additionally, it could be taken a step further if we wanted the AGM to have more impact on the minors, other than just being a sounding board on trade offers, but that role should an option for for Minor League Free Agents Signings & Releases, not just the Minor League Managers.

In the Global Settings there is a drop-down option to Include Base Coaches and a similar drop-down could be added to Include Minor League Directors, or something to that extent.

Cheers
