the point of putting him at 3rd is to surround him by better hitters...rather than him following up our worst hitters (Francouer, Getz, Dyson, Johnson, etc...)
the idea is to score runs
putting your two best OPS guys at 3 and 4 is done with the idea that, statistically, lumping those two together will equal doubles, RBI's, and homeruns (with one another on base etc...)
I don't give a shit about Gordon at 3 I'd just rather have him batting directly in front of Billy Butler
