Joe Maddon could win another World Series before the Chicago Cubs

In a move that no one is surprised about, Joe Maddon has agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal to manage the Los Angeles Angels. One of the reasons this should come as no surprise is the fact that Maddon got his start in baseball with the Angels, who initially hired him as a scout once he was done trying to play.

He worked his way up through the Angels minor league system as a coach and eventually became a coach on the big league level. He also took over as manager of the big league club on two separate occasions in interim roles in1996 and 1999, racking up a 27-24 record between the two stints.
