I've always thought Chris Sale is the most underrated pitcher in the AL and has the cheapest Bowman Chrome Auto for an all star out there.
With that said, I got to give the nod to King Felix
Most of my argument has already been posted. I tend to lean towards hitters in the MVP voting; however, a special season (like the one kershaw is having) is deserving to be a contender for the MVP. It is crazy that he is putting up these numbers and leads the NL in wins after missing a month...
im loving paniks production! I had to pick up a gold refractor and base chrome auto of his!
Also if anyone is interested, I now have (3) Lincecum Gold Refractor RCs and one is available. Thought I'd let the giants collectors know
Thanks for making the list! Great post to read. All hail Bowman Chrome!
The biggest thing that stood out to me was how high Bryce Harper is on the list. His age is impressive. His stats are not THAT impressive
And because it is officially thursday here is my #tbt (throwback thursday)...
I was out of the hobby for a while, so the newer guys I probably left off the list. Additionally, I am ranking the cards more based on the players success vs the hype or previous sales of a card. There is no way I am putting Joba Chamberlain on the list of best bowman chrome autograph cards
*Not sure if I should have Andrew McCuthen's Aflac auto count or not
1. Pujols
2. Kershaw
3. Buster Posey
4. Trout
6. Joe Mauer
7. Justin Verlander
8. Felix Hernandez
9. Ryan Braun
10. Tim Lincecum
11. David Price
12. David Wright
13. Hanley
14. Prince Fielder
15. Jose Bautista
16. Jon Lester...
I'm interested why no one put David Price up there. Even his cards on eBay are lower than I would expect. Also would like to think Jon Lester, Madison Bumgarner and Prince Fielder would make some people's lists
What would your top list look like?
This list is ranked with the weight more heavily focussed on the success of the players career, with a little weight of the value of the card. No Kris Bryant doesn't deserve to be on the list on account he hasn't even reached the Majors yet...
*Not sure if...
I see the 2009 Bowman Draft Hobby Box selling for a lot of cash on eBay (the chance of getting a Trout chrome auto), but how about 2006? You get the chance to pull Kershaw and justin upton and evan longoria as well. These boxes only sell for $70 on eBay
If you're into bowman chrome refractors. Good luck :D

I know the thread is titled with "today", but with all this Lucroy talk, lets not forget about Posey!
Hitting .302 w/ 19 HR and 75 RBI and is leading the Giants on a tear right now. But I still think Kershaw and Stanton have an edge on him
