Still basically a newbie, and I've got a couple of specific questions that maybe veterans could easily answer. If so thank you very much.

1) I've been operating under an assumption governing coaches that I realize may be/probably is flawed. I assumed that the "teach" ratings were important for coaches and the "handle" ratings were important for managers. I.E., coaches "teach" ratings helped players reach their potential ratings while managers "handle" ratings helped get the most out of those players ratings. Put another way, I figured a hitting coach with a 20 teach hitting and 5 handle vets, rookies and players would be a more effective hitting coach (he's strictly teaching) than one with a 10 teach hitting and a 20 handle vets, rookies, and players. Anyone know if that's correct? In other words, do hitting/pitching coaches "handle" rating affect how well they teach rookies, vets, and players or are the "handle" ratings simply important for managers???

2) I've struggled with figuring out the correct number of rounds of amatuer drafts to have. I suppose a league with no minors (reserve roster) would require fewer rounds than a league with a full minor system, and was wondering if there are any guidelines you vets out there use for determining the number of rounds in the amatuer draft.

Thanks for any input.
