Colon-Osuna-Hernandez:

I'm really catching up here. I like Osuna as a reliever. He K's better than a batter an inning, doesn't give up too many HR and doesn't walk a lot of batters. That's important with the Yankees porous defense. The White Sox get Colon, and he should improve a starting staff that was 8th in the AL in ERA last year. The Expos get stuck with Hernandez, but they are getting him cheap, with the White Sox and Yankees picking up most of the contract. I guess it's another form of revenue sharing. Moving into the pitcher's park that is Olympic Stadium might give El Duque a lift. A good trade all-around; Yankees and White Sox improved their staffs, and the Expos reduced their payroll.
