You don't really have a true leadoff hitter, so you have to get creative. Keep in mind, with your line up, just about anything will work.
Garza is the only player close to being built like a lead off hitter, but Story will work there because he's relatively quick for your team and he can hit like crazy (contact). Basically, Trout would have been your no brainer lead off guy.
Edit: Bryant is quick and can hit, but his eye and avoid K are way too low for me to put him at lead off. Although, he could work because of his speed and base running ability.
Marerro is interesting because I really wanted to put him in the top of the line up, but he's so ungodly slow that he works better later in the line up. He could work at the 3 spot, but you have guys who are better hitters that should go there. Really, Marerro would be batting 3 or 4 on any other team. In fact, if his eye hits the 70's potential it says, then he should be batting 3 or 4 for your team as well.
To be honest, I would trade one of your outfielders for a dominant CF and leadoff hitter if one exists in your game. Then you could move Garza to the 9 hole where he would be much better. And by "one of..." I mean Stanton or Bryant. Depending on who you think will last longer/has a better contract situation/etc.
