Hi all. Got a question for ya.

So, I'm going through the list of available managers to fill a minor league vacancy. It's for A ball - the only thing I care about is having the best positive influence on my prospects' development. The thing is, I am confounded by the interface.

Under the 'Player Development Influence' section of 'Relationships' tab, there's a blurb that says, "Based on interviews, X is expected to have the following development influence with the Z players: Excellent". There's two columns immediately below this, saying 'Higher Influence' and 'Lower Influence'. For this particular candidate, there are none of my players listed in either sub-section.

By comparison, a second candidate's comparable blurb says, "Based on interviews, Y is expected to have the following development influence with the Z players: Average". However, there's about 20 players split between the 'Higher Influence' and 'Lower Influence' columns.

So my question is: given just these two candidates, whom should I hire, X or Y? Is it more important to have an overall higher rating (e.g. 'Excellent') or instead to have a lot of individual players named under the 'Higher/Lower Influence' columns? I've seen nothing in the manual to indicate how much weight I should give to either category.
