I was pretty surprised he left KC in the first place, so I'm not that surprised that he's going back.

It'd be nice to know the exact reasoning behind the decision. Did he not like being with the Angels or did he just get homesick and want to go back to the organization he'd been with? I could see either being the case. Obviously, it doesn't reflect well on the Angels if it's the former. (which is why I'd like to find out what the exact reasoning is)

“Everything but the kitchen sink” should be the gloss for the Halos.

Might just be as simple as a bigger job, better title, more money.  It will be interesting to see if they grow their scouting ranks once the season ends and guys become available.  This will be Minasian's first full offseason, we will get a better view of what direction the team will take (farm wise), this coming season.

It could be that, though I imagine that's what the Angels gave him in order to poach him from KC last offseason. So maybe KC upped the job/title/money to be able to bring him back?

Yeah. Plus, maybe Arte will allow him to increase the staff now that a full season's worth of revenue has come in.

I think it was one of those grass isn't greener situations. 

His Twitter handle was something like Royalblue4Life or something.  I remember thinking it was odd he never changed it and thought it was even weirder that he would post Royals and Texas Longhorns stuff left and right and never anything Angels related.  Dude had deep roots in KC, I think he just wanted to go home.

Here's to hoping Perry has a replacement in mind.

my money is on mark texiera's wife wanting him to be closer to the midwest.

My biggest issue with Maddon is his horrible use of his pitchers. 
 

I’m giving Minassian a pass for now. It’s been one year and I don’t think it’s fair to expect him to have worked miracles right out of the gate. Year-ending injuries to two of the top players would be hard for any team to overcome. I’m glad he brought up Adell and Marsh and is letting them play. I’m glad he finally gave Albert the heave-ho plus some of the others through the year. Anxious to see how he builds this team over the winter.
 

I’m glad Artie wants so desperately to win but I think he gets in his own way too often.

Seems like the Royals gave him a title (and probably pay) bump to get him back. Not sure why they didn't just do that last offseason though and lose him for a year.

Hopefully Arte lets Minasian replace him.

An amazing year? Yeah, I guess watching damn near the entire team go on the extended IL like the attrition in a teenage horror film "amazing", then it was great year for all of us.

We'd all be thrilled if Minasian replaced Arte.

I’d be thrilled if Arte Moreno actually gave Minasian a REAL scouting budget and allowed him to hire another true baseball guy to replace Watson.

Along with about 50 more scouts.

I read it as Gene having an amazing year working in the organization.

Alex Tamin earning his money..

Instead of sending the guys to Driveline the Angels bought Driveline to Anaheim. Quality hire to move the team forward.

What does a baseball crosschecker actually do?  Serious question.
