Padres Sign Jon Leicester

By Mike Axisa | March 5, 2011 at 5:52pm CDT

The Padres have signed right-handed reliever Jon Leicester to a minor league contract according to the transactions page of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League. He is not in big league camp as a non-roster invitee according to the team's official site.

Leicester, 31, appeared in 48 games (six starts) with the Cubs and Orioles from 2004 through 2007, pitching to a 5.88 ERA with 6.3 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 82 2/3 innings. He's spent the last two years in Japan, making 55 relief appearances for the Orix Buffaloes. In 62 2/3 innings on the other side of the pond, Leicester owns a 4.88 ERA with 7.6 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9.

      Yep, read it exactly the same way.

      It wouldn’t be so confusing if those wankers across the pond would let us pronounce it “LIE-CHEST-ER” instead of “LESTER.”

        Didn’t realise the US were still in the UK’s pockets. Well, maybe culturally…

          Trying living in Massachusetts.

          If you pronounce Peabody as it sounds — Pee-BAHHH-dee — instead of the correct/stupid way (Pee-buh_dee), you get chided. If you pronounce Gloucester as GLAU-CHESTER, you get slapped. If you pronounce Worcester as WOR-CHESTER, you get shot.

            Actually, isn’t it PEE-bid-ee? I’ve spent time there and just can’t ever say it correctly. Or at least their correctly.

    It’s actually pronounced like Jon Lester. Actually, like Jon Liester, but close enough.

    Isn’t the “pond” the Atlantic Ocean? Japan is across the Pacific Ocean last time I checked; unless you’re going to take the really long way 🙂
