Prior to he made his name as manager of the Rays and Cubs, Maddon was an Angels lifer. Over 31 years with the Angels, Maddon worked as a minor league supervisor, small league coach, player development coach, scout, and lastly a big league coach who stayed on staff for more than a decade as the club cycled through supervisors (Buck Rodgers, Marcel Lachemann, Terry Collins, Mike Scioscia) and location names (California, Anaheim, Los Angeles of Anaheim). If Maddon got the Angels to a point where winning 84 games was a fireable offense, they ‘d develop a statue of him outside the ballpark.
Prior to he made his name as manager of the Rays and Cubs, Maddon was an Angels lifer. Over 31 years with the Angels, Maddon worked as a small league supervisor, minor league coach, player development coach, scout, and lastly a big league coach who stayed on personnel for more than a years as the club cycled through supervisors (Buck Rodgers, Marcel Lachemann, Terry Collins, Mike Scioscia) and area names (California, Anaheim, Los Angeles of Anaheim). This reunion makes so much sense, for both Maddon and the Angels, that the actual statement feels like a formality; it’s been blindingly apparent that Maddon would return to Orange County because the minute he left the Cubs on September 29 and the Angels fired incumbent skipper Brad Ausmus a day later on. While employing Maddon was one of the most crucial signposts in the Cubs’ reconstruct under Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, the manager and the front workplace quickly started to chafe when the positive outcomes stopped coming. If Maddon got the Angels to a point where winning 84 video games was a fireable offense, they ‘d build a statue of him outside the ballpark.
