~MLB HOT LIST~ Monday July 30th, 2012 - Week 18

[sportscardtheory]

This weekly Hot List is for those who want to see and/or discuss which MLB players had the most impactful last 7 days. It will be posted on Mondays using stats from Mondays to Sundays. Feel free to bring up any player or players you believe should be top-10 or honorable mentions. In keeping with the Major League theme of the Hot List, the post-2005 rookie cards stated are a player's best official MLB RC, not his best unlicensed, Minor League or prospect card.
