BA Chat

John Manuel has a chat currently going over at Baseball America, here is a Cubs excerpt:

Q:	greg from florida asks: What do you think about Sean Gallagher? I think he is in a great organization to move up fast, how long do you think it will take him to climb the ladder?
A:	John Manuel: I think he's really come on as a prospect this year, not so much his performance (he performed last year), but as Chris Kline has detailed, Gallagher's stuff is better this year. His curveball doesn't stand out so significantly from his other pitches anymore, it's better and it's not his only good pitch. He throws harder and has better control. He is in an organization that has had a horrible year, and he's been a bright light. Putting a timetable on him . . . I'd guess he'll get to the majors in his 40-man roster protection year, and that would be next year if he performs well.
