They changed Minsc for plot reasons alone, and shamelessly so. The "General Plot" in SoA involves a party including Jaheira, Minsc, Yoshimo->Imoen, and 2 other characters taking the Good path through Chapter 3. Since Minsc is the best Tank among those named, BioWare saw fit to make sure he was well prepared for the Good path--including changing his Racial Enemy from Gnoll to Vampire, and giving him the full 2 stars in a potent Anti-Undead weapon.
