Problems with your post:
1. There is no way in hell that the White Sox could get Livan Hernandez for only 3 mil a year. He will command at least 6 on the free agent market.
2. Vazquez would save us about 3 mil. But thats because the rumored offer is 3 years at 13 mil a year. Vazquez will probably make $10 mil next year.
My own personal opinion is that it is bulls*** that MLB dictates the payroll of the Expos. Get an actual owner for that team already. And until that is done MLB should suck it up and keep that team together.
I say we make a run at Vazquez, that is IF we sign Colon. Than again I'm not Kenny Williams and I dont know what the cost of bringing in Colon, Vazquez and a new shortstop would be.
If we do end up dealing Konerko for prospects we will have some cap room for Vazquez. .
I know I might be dreaming, but imagine a rotation with Loaiza, Colon, Buehrle, and Vazquez in it.
That's f***IN AWESOME.
Should be an interesting off-season

This offseason is going to be sweet. The Sox aren't doing anything to f*** their team over, but build it up for a contender in '04.
It all depends if we re-sign Colon, if not I don't know what is going to happen to this team.......

I think they will, believe me he's not going anywhere, he loves this town too much to hurt us like the others.
