2021 Bowman Chrome Blaster

I tried my luck at a Bowman Chrome blaster.  Not bad.  Not great, but it could have been much worse.

1.  J.D. Martinez.  Martinez is now in his fifth season with the Red Sox and is probably the second or third best designated hitter in team history.  David Ortiz is obviously number one.  The competition is Jim Rice, I think.  Martinez has been an All Star four times and won two Silver Sluggers.  He has hit 123 home runs with the Red Sox.

2.  Jeter Downs.  This is one of those Mojo Prospect Refractor cards.  Downs was one of the big pieces Boston acquired in the Mookie Betts deal.  He recently made his Major League debut and had a big series against the Yankees last weekend, driving in the tying run and scoring the winning run in the third game.  Downs could be trade bait at this point, unless Boston is unable to lock up Xander Bogaerts.  Even then, Marcelo Mayer and Nick Yorke are coming.
