I will commit to the long-haul...as long as we are not waiting on folks to pick until Christmas.
Well, I had two players in mind so, flipping a coin....Konerko at 3-3.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Assuming Abreu for 25 homers is ludicrous. He hardly had that much power before and he is clearly in decline. No more Ron Shandler for you guys with the hardcore gb/fb figures.

When I took Damon I knew I would get either Dye Morneau or A Ram with the flip pick, so Damon got the call for his sb contro.

It was a hard decision between Mauer and Atkins, not as hard between Mauer and McCann. Just that there are more viable options at 3B than at Catcher. Though I would love to have Atkins, in this game we all know you can't get everyone you want.
