Brewers release Suppan

The Milwaukee Brewers have finally decided to put their foot down when it comes to pitchers that stink. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, they have cut ties with 35-year old RHP Jeff Suppan. Suppan was pulled from the starting rotation after just two starts this year and was relegated mostly to mop-up duties.

Suppan was 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA this year. Many baseball experts think that’s unacceptable.

He was in the final year of a four-year $42 million mistake and owed $12.5 million for the season. $8.3 million remains to be paid and the club will owe him $2 million for a team-option buyout clause for 2011.

In short, he must have been butt awful for the team to be willing to shell out all that dough for a guy that won’t throw another pitch for them.
