Manager vs Bench
I am working on my expansion team... I know the Manage ratings are for a manager... what ratings do u look at when hiring a bench coach...

Same ratings, "coaches fielding" and how well he handles players, making him a complimentary coach to your manager, meaning if the manager handles veterans "excellent", make your bench coach handle players "excellent" so if there's a difference, the players will stay properly motivated.

I am sure this philosophy can be nit picked, but I always treat hiring a bench coach the same as I do a manager. I will over spend for a bench coach and sometimes even pay more for one than a manager. It is important to make sure his skills compliment the managers. By the way, I always offer more than a coach is asking for if I want to hire him fast. There have been too many times I end up paying more for a coach I want because I get into a bidding war.
One replay I had 48 year old Walter Alston as my manager, and I was paying him around $48,000. I had 62 year old Charlie Grimm as my bench coach and was paying him around $54,000. They were both maxed out with Legendary and Excellent ratings. I won around 110 games. If I have to charge an extra dime for tickets to have the best coaching staff I will do so. |

There ya go Slic! Get the good ones I say
But what I think makes a good bench coach (even though I hate the designation in OOTP) is he IS a Manager but a flawed one I look at Teach fielding and if he handles rookies better than the manager, or vice versa he is a great compliment. Hitting,pitching,strategy does not matter to me, just fielding |

What I want to know about a potential Bench Coach is how good is he at sitting and if he is a spitter.

What effects do a bench coach's (or manager's) stats have on things? Is it more for player development, or does it affect individual game performances? Is the AI manager/bench auto-lineup option significantly affected by an excellent or poor manager/bench coach?

Here's a link to last year's manual describing the personnel model for your review. It's always worth trying to get the best coaches into your organization. |

Yes, the manual will need updating, but the basic concepts are accurate.
