Brian Anderson is the best rookie in the National League

Anybody who says that they saw this coming is full of it. Maybe you envisioned Brian Anderson as an All-Star-caliber player, but probably not as a rookie and definitely not as an everyday right fielder.

The 25-year-old is proving himself to be a clutch, all-around threat, shining brighter than any of his inexperienced peers on the Marlins roster or elsewhere in the National League.

When right-hander Brett Graves officially joins the club this weekend, he’ll become the 15th rookie-eligible player used by the Marlins this season.
