~Weekly MLB Top-10 Hot List~ August 22nd, 2011

[sportscardtheory]

This weekly hot list is for those who want to see and/or discuss which MLB players did the best within the last 7 days. I'll post it on Mondays and use 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 I post are a player's best "official" MLB RC, not his best prospect card.
