USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the Phillies have been scouting Carlos Quentin. It's obvious at this point that the Phils are going to acquire a right-handed hitting outfielder before the deadline, it's just a matter of who it winds up being. In addition to Quentin, they've been linked to Carlos Beltran, Hunter Pence, Melky Cabrera and B.J. Upton, among others. Quentin is making $5.05 million this season and will enter his final year of arbitration over the winter.
