A couple thoughts:
First off, I think your IF is awesome and 2/3 of your OF is too.
Zobrist's value lies in his ability to play multiple positions. I know his numbers look solid from last year, but I would rather start Trumbo in the OF and Hill at Util with Zobrist as your bench replacement.
All your other hitters can safely be dropped for pitching depth (especially Ichiro who is the 5th OF in NY). These guys are significantly worse than your starters, so there is really no reason to stash them on your bench. Use your bench to shore up your pitching weakness and to take advantage of match-ups.
The issue, as others have stated is with your pitching. If this is a points league, I would not worry too much about the closers. You have two low end options, but I think you will be fine. Just be ready on the waiver wire as others emerge.
Your real issue is with the starters. I love Cole and I like Teheran. Tanaka will be OK, although I am betting he does not live up to the hype (at least not this year).
The rest of your staff is a train wreck. Gallardo is done. Peavy is a flier, but has limited upside and a lot of injury risk. Parker and Masterson are both kind of boring low end options.
