Thomas
Overbay
Zaun
Stairs

As for Glaus he batted Cleanup all year last season why would it change?
Because you should change things which don't benefit the ball club. Glaus batting cleanup is one of those things.

We have better/more capable people who can hit RHP at the cleanup spot, cleanup is usually your big power guy - Glaus is that guy... for Lefties.

The reason I put Overbay 2nd is because although Rios does have speed, the Jays aren't a team that steals bases. Their goal is to get on base, which is why an OBP guy is better served in that position.
