Konerko should be good for another productive season, providing power and a decent batting average. Because he's older and doesn't have the upside of other 1B, he might end up being a nice value pick in many leagues. .270-70-26-85-1 in 530 AB

Positives / Upside	Konerko is still capable of posting good, if unspectacular, numbers at 1B. He rebounded nicely last year from a down year in 2008, and with his HR/FB dropping 1.3%, he stands a good chance of remaining at or around the 28 HR he hit in 2009. A career .277 hitter, Konerko should once again post a solid average.
Negatives / Downside	Fantasy owners shouldn't hope for steals from Konerko as he rarely runs. He'll be 34 by Opening Day, so there's reason to expect some decline in his numbers. At this point, it's more likely that Konerko will regress rather than outperform expectations.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	172
