MLB HOT LIST - Monday, April 28th - Week 6

[sportscardtheory]

The MLB HOT LIST will highlight which MLB players had the most impactful previous 7 days. It will be posted on Mondays using statistics spanning the previous Monday to Sunday. Feel free to bring up any player or players who weren't mentioned who you believe deserve recognition. In keeping with the Major League theme of the MLB HOT LIST, the post-2005 rookie cards stated are a player's best MLB licensed true RC, not his best parallel/insert, Minor League or Major League prospect card.

Nice list, other than most of the top RC's are wrong. Unless you're using the actual RC logo stuff
