I figure good "teaching" coaches are less needed at AAA (which includes a lot of MLB veterans and experienced minor leaguers who are likely immune to further teaching), and to some extent, AA. For pitchers, high A is a good place to focus with a patient, experienced well-thought-of pitching coach. For young hitters, maybe a level down, to work with guys right out of college, or teenagers with a year or two in the organization.
One thing I love to do, perhaps a bit of a cheat; although it happens IRL, is to retire veteran players, and then make them available for hire as coaches. This enables me to use some of my favorite guys in the organization. Of course they have no coaching experience or profile, but they seem to carry over some of their experience to the new job.
