Best way to develop players?
Is there anyway you can influence player development? I've just hoped certain prospects work out, and was wondering if there is personnel I can sign, or things I can do to encourage successful prospect development.

draft well, buy good iafa etc..
unfortunately there is no good way to see a good coach. even if it says 'favors prospect' verbage in profile, it may stil be an extremely low value... and mosre often than not it will be. few decent coaches (~100/200 ish for ratings), even fewer great coaches. most are sub-100 for even the ratings they are supposedly 'better' at. e.g. a pitching caoch may have a 50 teach pitching and ~10 teach batting. i think it has an effect for sure, albeit limited. the contexts that are difficult remain difficult. e.g. a stud pitcher with 2 pitches developing fine and one remains 1/xx or 10/xx (xx=potential). even with 200/200 coaches and 200 work ethic, those guys are future RPs most times than not. edit: heh, leads to the idea of recognizing long-shots with high potential... avoid them or trade them early for a better return. or accept they will be just an RP etc.. or a bench player. i don't think batters really run into anything as crazy obvious as pitchers... but, if their power isn't creeping upward by 23-24 you should be very worried. even if it does, you'll only get 3-5 years out fo them before age is a problem. certainly won't be a good long-term contract.

I've had success with turning former players, especially HoF'ers into coaches. Catchers seem to make good managers and sometimes even pitching coaches. Good hitters for HCs, good pitchers for PCs. There's not a direct corollary, but I've noticed the better the MLB career, the better the coach.

I have a hard time resigning a lot of my minor league coaches. They often refuse to sign extensions. Maybe they hate working for Peter Angelos.

Maybe historical leagues are different than fictional (which is most of what I'm doing). When the owner gives me the mid-season update, I go to the Personnel screen, hit the button that extends all the minor league folks, and no one has balked the 30+ years I've simmed.

Surprised that no one mentioned it but you can up your organization development budget during the preseason. Keep in mind that what you spend here can't be spent elsewhere.
If you are rebuilding it is a good idea to keep this spend high and if you are win now you may want to reduce this money so you can acquire talented free-agents to get you over the hump.

You have to move them up before you try to resign them.

the good coaches I sign them for 5 years each and I don't haggle on contract I just give them what they want. Price is insignificant compared to development. Plus when I haggle on contract I next to never know what they say via email. Been this way for many versions. I always keep an eye on contract during off season to make sure I didn't lose them or they signed with me. I do get email when they sign with me. Never negotiate. So I just give what they want.

Coaches are an afterthought. It's too bad hiring coaches wasn't more interesting.

turn on comissioner mode... if you have more than 1/10 managers worth a penny, you are doing something right or just plain lucky.
if they all have bad ratings and your players are developing fine, that tells you how important it is. pitching and batting coaches? same idea, but limited to teach pitching/batting etc. few are 100+ / 200 in the important factors. |
