Aaron Fultz Anyone?

Okay, maybe I'm still struggling with the fact that JD Durbin is still on the Opening Day roster, but I simply can't believe that Pat Gillick doesn't have any moves in the works.  One guy who might be able to contribute to the bullpen is reliever Aaron Fultz.

Phillies fans should remember Fultz from his prior stint in Philadelphia.  In Fultz's two years with the Phillies he went 7-1 with a 3.36 ERA.  This was in 128 appearances.

While Fultz had a good year in Cleveland last year (4-3, 2.92), he struggled upon his return from a strained rib cage.  He faired no better this spring posting an ERA over 11.00, before the Indians released him.

While Fultz isn't an over-the-top reliever, he's serviceable and is better then The Real Deal, or Clay Condrey.  Gillick has said the Phillies aren't interested, but he also said they had no interest in Pedro Feliz, and Brett Myers would be the closer.  Unlike guys like Hank Steinbrenner, Gillick doesn't show his hand.
