The Phillies still want to add another lefthander to their bullpen. It just won't be Steve Kline. The Phils released Kline, 35, who went 0-2 with a 5.16 ERA in 20 appearances for triple-A Lehigh Valley. Lefthanders hit a robust .341 against him, which seemed to doom him. But what also might have doomed him is this: He was suspended Tuesday after he made contact with umpire Mike Estabrook on Monday. The Phillies signed Kline to a minor-league contract in April.

Boy, does this guy suck!! Will another team take a look or is this guy done? I say he is done.

Since he is lefthanded there is always a chance that some desperate team may take a chance on him.
