re: Coaching Moves CPM Should Seriously Consider

Say what you want about the need for a hitting coach, but no one in his right mind thinks a hitting coach is as important as a pitching coach. The most important assistant coach, imo, is the lead recruiter. Second is pitching. Third is infield, and fourth is hitting.

You might switch #s 1 and 2, and maybe #s3 and 4, but the money should be spent on recruiting and pitching, just as CPM is doing. I don’t have an opinion as to whether the right guys are in those roles.

I agree with you but I think the bigger problem is that with only 3 paid positions, you have to have a HC that specializes in one of those critical areas. Otherwise youre wasting a paycheck and a coaching position.
