Sportsnet Magazine, a top publication in Canada, provided Naoko Asano’s account of their writers’ choices for an All-Rookie team for the mid-way point of the 2015 season. Both the National and American League rookies were combined to form one team of eight position players and six pitchers. As with all debatable lists made by sportswriters, this list will likely be chewed upon by baseball fans everywhere. However, it’s worth noting the names on the list, including two Red Sox players to make it: Blake Swihart and Eduardo Rodriguez.
