Rowand44 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 This just scrolled through the bottom line that the royals released Leskanic. His era is awful this year but he was very good last year and he has a great arm. I would love to see the sox sign him cheap and give him a shot. Thoughts??

sox-r-us Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 If it is a minor league deal then that is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSoxShuf Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Buyer Beware  He sucks this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Buyer Beware He sucks this year. Don't all KC pitchers? I'd definitely like to see him on the South Side, Coop was do a good job with him, he was an excellent reliever for the Brewers I recall.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 How come if we sign him I see us having another Jose Paniagua experiance with him? :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some team like Texas will sign Leskanic to help their pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I agree with the minor league deal idea. Let the scouts see if he is fixable, while at the sametime, not risking the big league games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'd love to pick him up. Like said before, he was really good last year and could probably be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Leskanic has a history of arm trouble. Â He could have an injury (ie. Danny Wright) and just didn't let KC knowabout it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Leskanic has a history of arm trouble. He could have an injury (ie. Danny Wright) and just didn't let KC knowabout it. True. Or he could just simply be "done". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Politte/Leskanic. Too close to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Politte/Leskanic. Too close to call. at least we know what we have in Politte. Â Do we really want a guy that the Royals cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 A minor league deal wouldn't hurt  He could be done, he could just suck, or he could just need a change of venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Release Koch outright, pick up Leskanic, we would be a better team for it, Koch has lost his confidence, he imploded big time in Seattle, cannot imagine him getting it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Now that puts it in perspective. Thanks chief. Â And I don't think Koch has lost his confidence. I think if you put him on the mound, he feels he's going to get guys out. Â His problem is his stuff has deteriorated and his location is pretty bad right now. If he can at least improve his location, he'll be a little better off (maybe a solid middle-relief guy, who knows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 He imploded, was not holding guys on, he still has stuff, but he cannot do anything with it, he will never be crap for us anymore, release him. Leskanic can pitch in setup role, Koch will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 just get him, let Coop see if he can fix him up this year. It's not like it'd cost much and it'd be relatively low-risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I like the idea of us look for Set-up guys since Shingo started closing. It will be easier to get them in trades than closers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
