A small army of White Sox pitchers marched out to a back field at Camelback Ranch on Monday morning, trailed by a lonely man walking 10 feet behind the end of the line.
When everyone was done getting loose with a game of catch, they all marched off the field together, except for one, lefty Carlos Rodon, who stayed behind to get in a few more throws with a little bite on them.
If it looks like Rodon is marching to the beat of a different drummer, it's only because he's is. And that drummer happens to be pitching coach Don Cooper, who has Rodon on a different schedule than his teammates.
