The Chicago White Sox could benefit from implementing the 3-3-3 system of pitcher rotation, as suggested by Dave Fleming in 2009. This system calls for a rotation of three pitchers per game, pitching three innings each, every three days.

It would require an adjustment in preparation, but with the whole offseason and spring training ahead, they have time to adapt.
