one of the staff/personnel improvements ive advocated for is for the game to keep track of stats (under "managerial history") for ALL personnel, not just managers. i think its pretty important to know how your pitching and hitting coaches have fared in their careers by seeing how the teams they have been involved with have pitched (ERA/Runs Allowed) and hit (AVG/Runs). if nothing else, such a recorded history would help us in hiring decisions aside from just comparing ratings b/w personnel. if a pitching coach's teams have had ERA's over 5 his entire career, that would make me more reticent to hire him. i would hope that there is some correlation b/w staff attribute ratings and team performance. i wouldnt expect staff to have a dramatic effect on the end results, but i think we should be able to gauge any appreciable effects through tracking these stats.
a side benefit would be the ability to track the history of staff in terms of where they have been employed. right now, aside from managers, the only way to see where a coach has been is to go through the team or league transactions from the past (assuming youre saving them). i know its not a huge deal, but i think its interesting to track the progress of personnel as well as players. btw, i did look into progression of their ratings at one point and yes, over time the attributes do change. as with players, not every coach will improve or some will improve faster/greater than others but it does happen.
