One of the more intriguing subplots of the Angels season has been Mike Trout's spot in the batting order. The GOAT has virtually hit second in the Angels batting order his entire career, yet Ron Washington began the season with him hitting third (Trout's been hitting third for the majority of the season, but does have 16 games in his normal 2-spot in the lineup). After Trout returned from the injured list at the end of May, Wash stupefyingly slotted him into both the 5 and 6-hole which he had not done since his rookie season in 2011!
