We've seen this before, when a young, injury-prone pitcher with a 100-m.p.h. fastball acts like a kid.
Remember Joel Zumaya?
Not that Zumaya ever wasted his talent the way Bruce Rondon is wasting his. It's true, Zumaya once was injured while playing too much Guitar Hero, a video game designed to let you be a rock star. At least he was giving effort, something Rondon knows little about.
The Detroit Tigers' relief pitcher got sent home this week because his manager and general manager didn't think he was working hard enough. They said so publicly.
