Carlos Rodon figures to be the most experienced starter in the White Sox rotation if James Shields gets dealt by the July 31 trade deadline, as expected.
The ace role would then be thrust upon the 24-year-old former first-round draft pick, and it would be up to Rodon once again to live up to the hype.
Been there, done that.
After shoulder surgery and a long rehab process, the return to the old Carlos Rodon might not be as smooth as some might have hoped.
But so far, it’s looking better by the start.
