My first instinct if I were manager would be to hide.
Seriously though, I think the #5 spot is a toss-up between Tavarez and Torres based on the end of last year. Plus, I'd make a few changes to your lineup:
Batting Order
1. Kendall
2. J. Wilson
3. Giles
4. Ramirez
5. Simon/Young
6. Mackowiak
7. C. Wilson
8. Reese
J. Wilson's hitting started to come around last season, Mackowiak has decent pop in his bat at times. I'm not keen on Kendall leading off, but we really don't have anyone. Maybe Reese, if he can hit consistently. I dunno.
At least the rotation is pretty good (the top 3 in particular)
