When the LA Angels were first linked to Joe Maddon, I wrote about how much I disliked the potential pairing given Maddon’s comment regarding domestic violence accusations against two of his players. While I still stand by that, this article is simply about what these coaches bring to the clubhouse and on the field.
And in terms of what he’ll bring to the clubhouse, Joe Maddon has a proven track record of success. In Tampa Bay, in Chicago, and now back with Anaheim, everywhere Maddon goes he brings success, and I expect his presence in the clubhouse to be a huge motivator for the players.
