The Philadelphia Phillies release Kasey Kiker
The Phillies have released 24-year old lefty reliever/starter Kasey Kiker. Kiker pitched in 30 games (1 start) in A-ball for the Phillies last year and he was 3-4 with a 7.05 ERA and a 2.17 WHIP. He has pitched in 128 games (87 starts) in his six years in the minors and he is 23-31 with a 4.53 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Kiker regressed badly last season, so it comes as little surprise that he was let go.
