Back when we published our first rookie watch on May 20, we warned that some players who might end up making noise in the Rookie of the Year races may not have even debuted yet, or at least proven themselves as capable candidates.
Well, there are some new entries on our imaginary ROY ballots that weren’t given a second thought on our first edition. The new player in the AL top three had made just two starts on May 20 (he's now made five, all impressive, as you will learn) while the new face in the NL’s top three had just returned from the minors. Heck, an NL honorable mention pitcher is in the minors now.
