It’s Time for LA Angels to Move On From Taylor Ward

However, after the LA Angels and Jerry Dipoto split up, Billy Eppler took over. He quickly did what it is Billy Eppler does and made the catcher into a multi-positional player, initially moving Ward to third base. This move led to a breakout offensively for Ward, but his bat has since stagnated.

Ward is capable of playing the infield corners and outfield corners. He is most suited for third base, but Eppler has continued to develop him at each spot in hopes of increasing his organizational value. However, that same value translates to the trade market, where Ward may be best utilized for the Angels.
