I like 4 out of the 5 players named. The one player I don't like and don't have as much confidence in to repeat last year, as others may have, is Reynolds. Mark is the dealbreaker for me for the simple fact that I'm not sure that getting his average, ontop of Grandy's average will be able to be made up with the power numbers they MAY generate.
No way Wright has as bad of a power year this year as he did last, and even if he does his average and SB make up for the loss of HR. IMO you have a lock at the hot corner with Wright and replacing him with Reynolds is a huge question mark. I like your OF the way it sits with all three having above average speed, good average numbers and Kemp is the complete package with power/speed/average. I see Bay dipping a bit compared to last years power numbers, but only half the games are played at Citi, so I don't think it will hurt him THAT much. I still like Bay in Citi more then Grandy in NY.
I personally would stick with what you have, heck the package of Pujols, Wright, Rollins, Kemp, Bay and if Hill can even come close to last years numbers, your going to be hard to beat. I would actually be looking harder at your arms then your bats. Looking at it, I think, well hope, that Bills has a bounce back year, but if he doesn't your looking at Burnett being your #1 and with his ratios thats going to hurt. After Bills and AJ your looking kind of iffy at the back half of your rotation, Floyd should be solid, but again I don't see Jair replicating last years ERA and thats where his value is at, Jered Weaver is solid but has also had his woes and also the new added pressure of being the Angels new #1. Lilly is hit and miss and with a career 4.25 ERA he can miss big at times, Pettitte will be lucky to hit 140 Ks and is on the way wrong side of 4 ERA wise and his 1.40 hovering WHIP the past few years will ultimatley makes him a spot starter. Santana has had one big year sandwiched inbetween 2 aweful ones, and still has question marks about a. injury and b. confidence. Niemann may be your darkhorse, kid as stuff that is compareable to SP1 status, just has to be given a good chance.
Overall your squad is worthy, but again I would stress looking into arms, rather then bats.
