Your OF is obviously stacked and the strongest part of your team. I would try to move Bruce, Heyward, or "Ells," since there's surplus there to solidify another position.
Very high on Gyorko rebounding from a dismal '14. Grandal is one of my "sleeper" catchers, with bonus 1B eligibility. Also like Semien in Oakland, late in drafts. Offers infield versatility at 2B, SS, 3B. Micah is going to swipe a lot of bags, but his defense needs work to stay on the field. Devon Travis another of my 2B "sleepers."
Your rotation could use improvement. After Max, there's question marks. Gio was volatile last year, but I get he's 29 and in prime position as a #4 starter for the Nats. Cashner, I like a whole lot. Bumped down to #2 with the addition of "Big Game James (stupid nickname)," he's been in rare form this spring. Unlike Shields, Cashner and Ross limit the long ball. McHugh, Duffy, and Paxton have potential as high-value pitchers able to outperform their ADP. Now that I reflect, I would definitely trade an OF for a SP upgrade. In case Gio falters, you have a #3 to complement Scherzer and Cashner.
Assuring you secure the holds category with Davis and Watson. I did the same in my league with Davis and Miller instead, and punted saves. That league has an odd tendency to be closer-heavy.

Your INF is stacked. Freeman a top-5 1B, Kipnis a top-5 2B, Desmond a top-2 or top-3 SS, and Arenado a top-10 3B. Arenado is the key. He was breaking out before missing games. Plus he has the benefit of playing in Coors.
Solid OF. "Cutch" leads the way, but Kemp was no slouch post-ASB with the bat. Gradually returning to MVP form. Ozuna is a bit of a free swinger, but the raw power is there in Miami.
The key to your rotation is "Jo-Fer's" return in June, hopefully for your sake. Wood is a trendy upside pick, run support and wins will be problematic in the A however. "Z" is a top-12 guy in fantasy, and Cobb should be back by mid-April. He was a beast transforming into Tampa's lead ace with Price's departure to Detroit.

To answer your question, I would drop Pearce before Mauer.
For 1B, I personally preferred Hosmer and Grandal to LaRoche at a similar ADP price point.
I would prepare some SS insurance for Reyes. Someone like Jean Segura would be ideal.
Love the Betts pick. He's Boston's leadoff hitter of the future, just a matter of finding enough AB on the Red Sox's crowded roster.
You have three top-20 SP with Kershaw, "Z," and Shields. Be careful with Ryu, most people in LA don't believe he'll finish a full season this year. Pitching shoulder discomfort is usually a bad sign.
Lastly, I much fancy Sanchez to Shoemaker. He's been glistening in spring and the upside is huge. Stroman's unfortunate injury accelerated Sanchez's jump into Toronto's rotation, a spot he's technically still battling for.
