I'm probably a bit late here, and probably taking an unpopular position, but:
Chemistry is the most overrated quality of a professional team as far as personalities are concerned. Players can play with anyone when they are winning. (A group of offensive lineman playing together for 10 years I am putting outside of "chemistry.")
Anyways, I don't know what Jose Guillen did, and I don't support complete pieces of crap being allowed to do whatever they want, but the Angels can simply not afford to give up his bat as they play these crucial games against the A's and perhaps the postseason.
Unless he pulled out weapons in the locker room, the Angels way overreacted. Basically, Guillen has carte blanche to do whatever he wants and not get kicked off the team, outside of incredibly ridiculous actions, and I don't think his qualify.
This is professional sports, not a high school game. It sucks, but you have to put the talent out there.
