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...
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.
Didn't Wally Joyner come back for a brief stint?

But did he actually play on the big league club? I can’t remember.
stevefinleyallstars - December 23, 2011
Nah
He was traded when he was still in the minors

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.
