With a possible deal for Matt Holliday rumored you knew it was bogus! The Phillies would not want to aquire a salary of Matt Holliday. The Phillies offense has stunk over the last month and Hollidays .347 average wouldn't look bad right now. David Montgomery dosen't give Pat Gillick the flexibility to make a big move and i know that for a fact. The reason is Gillick is most likely going to retire after this season so he would want to go for it. The phillies ownership will never win a championship because they are flat out to cheap.

I didn't mean Donald, I meant Jason Jaramillo. And I would cease being a Phillies fan if they brought Arthur Rhodes back to Philly. Yea that was my error.

After Marson, the next best catching prospect is Travis D'Arnaud, who is down at short season Williamsport. This is a situation in which the phillies doing well over the last 8 seasons has hurt them in that they haven't drafted high enough to get a matt laporta ( 7th overall in 2007). A nice alternative to Fuentes maybe Arthur Rhodes; Rhodes has done well as a situational lefty out in Seattle this season and will only cost the phils come prospect down in Rookie ball or short season.
