While neither of these guys are likely to contribute to the Reds, Gallagher's stats are a lot more interesting to me than Atilano. Gallagher can rack up the Ks, and could prove valuable if he could limit the walks. Either way, Gallagher has been miserable his whole time in the bigs, but I have no problem giving him a flyer.
Someone has to pitch to all those hitters in Spring Training.
These are better guys to have stashed starting at AAA than the guys they have there now. I like the moves.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Would either RHPs Sean Gallagher or Luis Atilano rate on a Reds top 40 or 50 prospect list?

Thanks Dougdirt.
I see nothing but balls flying out of minor league stadiums with these two jewels.
I'm not sure I ever fully understand your sentiment (and that of others). On the one hand, sure if we've moved down the depth chart for where these two currently reside, yes, that means we've got problems.
On the other hand, it's a presumption that players can never improve. Perhaps something clicks or they learn something for our coaches' tutelage that moves them up a notch. Or we just need some long guys or spot starters for whatever reason.
If they're in our organization, I want them to succeed and if they can, help the big club. I understand that it's not a given that it will happen, but under our control. I wish them only the best.

But these guys are probably improvements over the guys the Reds had slated for the AAA rotation. Now the rotation is probably Chapman, Reinecke, Gallagher, Atilano and Tanner. Way better than Klinker, Hynick, McCulloch and probably Carroll. Carroll might be OK if Chapman stays on the big club in the pen, but the AAA rotation is pretty weak IMO. These guys are upgrades.

Naw. He's a reliever now.I'd add LeCure to your starting depth chart.
