The W.Sox were very happy that UGA shortstop Gordon Beckham was available with their 8th pick yesterday, and you can never have enough lefty pitchers in your minor-league system, so here's hoping that we see Leesman in the bigs at some point.
I have to say that his numbers were underwhelming this year: 2-6, 5.32 ERA, 90 hits in 66 innings. The Sox farm system has been remarkably unproductive for most of the last 30 years, with many of their top scouts being fired recently. Fans may be scratching their heads over this pick. Usually the college guys have great numbers, whether they actually pan out or not.

I believe he is a Jr so maybe he goes back to X, or not.
