I think in USCell you are better off with a 5 man rotation. I would scrap your 4 man and look for SP with few BPHRs like Bedard, Denny Batista, etc.
I would also get rid of Hudson. If you want a glove at 2B and give up on offense go cheaper and get a 2 defensively. Hudson is one sided and gets hurt a lot.
Get a more suitable backup 3B than Burroughs. Since ARam will go down a few times I would suggest a more powerful backup. Why worry about defense? Look at ARam's defensive rating. Get someone who might hit some HRs. Same with Chavez. Get a backup OF with some power. Look at Thames who is wonderful in USCell.
You will also need to figure out a deeper bullpen. Playing in USCell you will go through pitchers. Heilman and Shields are great but you will need more than them. Guardado is BAD in a HR park for the money.

Here's a link to my 103 win Cell team. I don't think pitching is all that necessary as long as you have the good D to make up for it.

Dump N. Robertson (way too many HR's), O. Hudson (injury prone & not enough power) and Jeter is expensive and overrated for US Cell. Get a cheaper, more powerful option at SS. Not a fan of Stanton either, he always seems to get hit hard. Get a *SP that does not give up HR's.

jeter is a bit overrated, but you need OBP as well a slugging. You can't just have low Ba low OBP sluggers at every postion and win.
Personally, I'd replace Sexson with Gomes so you have a #2 batter behind Jeter.
The other problem I can see is you ar every right handed. But then if no one gets those hard R's to confront you no biggie.
