Yes, yes, I know. I’ve promoted the 3-3-3 pitching rotation before, as recently as the trading deadline last year after the White Sox sent off most of the pitching staff.
That was a good time to try the experiment. But now is even better.
In fact, the 2024 White Sox may be the best team ever for putting into action Dave Fleming’s proposal on billjamesonline.com in 2009. Not only does it not matter in the least whether the White Sox lose a slew of games trying something new, since they’re going to lose a sufficient slew of games anyway, but they actually have a staff almost specifically designed for this particular experiment.
