The Dickey effect in a 3 game set intrigues me. There is a statistical effect of the knuckleball, my good friend authored a couple of posts proving it. Dickey leading off, then Hutch, then Buehrle could work.

Or you could go crazy. Start Dickey every game and leave him in for a couple of innings. Then yank him for a hard thrower. But mix in Buehrle.

G1: Dickey-Stroman-RP
G2: Dickey-Hutch-RP
G3: Buehrle-Morrow-RP

And loop. It's crazy, but I think it could work.
