Is this important for a Bench Coach?

Per the online manual:

OOTP Baseball Manual - Personnel Roles

Bench coaches are responsible for helping the manager handle his responsibilities, especially during actual games. Bench coaches have some impact on all areas of play, including fielding. You have the option of delegating decision-making authority to your bench coach when playing out a game. A bench coach's coaching ratings affect the play and development of players on his specific team.
