Now, I could see him leading off vs. RHP, but lefties? Not a chance.
vs. RHP, here is what I'd do:
Johnson
Overbay
Wells
Thomas
Glaus
Rios
Zaun
Hill
Random SS
Lefties:
Johnson
Rios
Wells
Glaus
Thomas
Hill
Overbay
Catcher (Likely Phillips, but Zaun too)
Random SS
If Overbay/Zaun are in the lineup together vs. LHP, I'd bat One of them 6th and the other one 8th - making sure they don't go back to back.
Glaus is a bad hitter vs. RHP, he shouldn't bat cleanup vs. them.

I am assuming Johnson is traded. Secondly Rios is extremely quick so he would be ideal for the 1st or 2nd spot. Overbay is not that quick I would put him later in the line-up.
Rios
Hill
Wells
Glaus
Thomas
Overbay
Zaun
Stairs
SS
As for Glaus he batted Cleanup all year last season why would it change?
