I'd say "Ok" for top of the order. Revere may not strike out much but he doesn't walk much either. When Travis is healthy I'd rather he be the leadoff hitter since he has a better OBP and doubles power (easier for Donaldson/Bautista/EE to knock him home). Put Revere in front of Pillar (#8 spot) so that he can use his speed to break up DP's and leg out first to third.
Travis
Donaldson
Bautista
EE
Tulo
Martin
Colabello/Smoak/Valencia
Revere
Pillar
That's how I'd roll the batting order.
