In line to bat third Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Trout will bat third this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Impact Trout has traditionally hit either second or third and spent most of his time in the two hole last season. However, that spot will be occupied by Nolan Schanuel, with Trout providing protection. Anthony Rendon is expected to follow Trout in the cleanup spot.
