Angels color analyst and former All-Star MLB pitcher Mark Gubicza was a guest on Glenn Clark Radio Thursday.

Among the topics he discussed were:
-After hitting 36 home runs last year (11 more than his previous career high) can we declare Taylor Ward a legitimate middle of the order bat?
-How Ward may uniquely benefit from MLB bringing in the ABS challenge system next year given that he doesn’t swing at pitches outside of the zone
-What he brings defensively to the Orioles’ outfield
-Can he be the type of veteran leader the roster has been missing?
-His thoughts on what Grayson Rodriguez will bring to Anaheim
