cheaptrick77 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs traded right-hander Jon Leicester to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday for a player to be named. Leicester, 26, spent most of last season at Triple-A Iowa, going 3-8 with a save and a 5.51 ERA in 16 starts and eight relief appearances. He also appeared in six games with the Cubs, making one start. He pitched well in relief as a rookie for Chicago during 2004. Selected by the Cubs in the 11th round of the 2000 amateur draft, Leicester had a 5-3 record with a 4.80 ERA in 38 games with Chicago. All but one of his appearances were in relief.

shoelessjoelives Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 At 6'2' and 220 pounds, he has the size you like to see. Give him a handlebar mustache and he's ready to go like Goose Gossage....:thumbsup: !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sppunk Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well they're in the bidding for Burnett - way overblown with a 5 year deal. Last pitcher who got one? Chan Ho Park. Texas needs to LOOK AT THE PARK THEY PLAY IN when signing pitchers ... it's more important than the raw numbers. Texas' FO for years ignores the stats that matter ... hope Daniels (and I'm certain he will) turns it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubs37 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Looks like Burnett might be headed to the Blue Jays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
