Darren Oliver

So there are rumors that the Angels are looking to bring back Darren Oliver and that got me asking myself, have the Angels ever brought back a player who's left the organization? I can't think of any...

Didn't Wally Joyner come back for a brief stint?
There you go! Thanks
I'd love to have Oli back for a year

Callaspo

Yep

But did he actually play on the big league club? I can’t remember.

Nah

He was traded when he was still in the minors

Jeff Mathis in 2013
You should be banned for that comment.
I was actually wondering if the first reply would be something or that variety

Yep

Mathis'll come back as a coach, namely, a hitting instructor

and he’ll be simultaneously groomed as a future GM, the face of the franchise, media raconteur, OC gadfly about town, and his bronze statue will be affixed next to Gene’s.

If the pitchers love him as much as Sosh says they do...

Sign him up as a bullpen catcher. That way he could (potentially) make a positive contribution without ever stepping into the batter’s box.

Tom Gregorio retirng?

Or does he become special assistant to the manager after his playing days are done.

Paul Schaal, Andy Hassler, Dave LaRoche
Chili Davis, Jack Howell
LaRoche

they literally skipped all of his good years

Chili Davis

won a ring after both Angels tenures, once with the Twins and once with the Yankees

How could you forget Jorge Fabregas???
What was his CERA?
Ron Jackson
Papa Ron for the win!
Wouldn't mind Papa Jack as our hitting coach
Nolan Ryan

Oh wait. that didn’t happen he signed with Texas instead.

Dick Schofield & Jim Fregosi (as manager of course)
No, it never has happened and never will.

I read none of the comments above.
