Yes it is.
But they won't. We best get used to him batting 3rd this year.
With what we pay him, they don't have the balls to move him out of the 3 hole.
EDIT: And no to Kendrick. It's Trout in the 3 hole nothing at all.
EDIT 2: They'll justify it by saying his history shows he should hit better and they "just need to give him a little time".
