Analysis: Gallagher is a decent young pitcher who showed some nice signs of breaking out this season. His sleeper potential in 2009 will remain limited to AL-only leagues, though, thanks to his inconsistency

Sean Gallagher was pounded for eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in a 10-8 loss to the Mariners. The Mariners scored two runs off Gallagher before Jose Lopez deposited a three-run bomb to left in the third. Lopez took Gallagher yard for the second time in the fifth. The product of the Rich Harden trade, Gallagher finishes his first season with Oakland 2-3 with a 5.88 ERA and a 49/33 K/BB ratio in 50 innings of work.

Analysis: Gallagher is a decent young pitcher who has thrown well enough lately to deserve a starting spot in AL-only leagues over the season's final week. Don't worry about him in mixed leagues just yet, though. His next start is scheduled for Friday at Seattle

Oakland Athletics SP Sean Gallagher gave up just one run in seven innings of work Tuesday, Sept. 16, against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. According to The Riverside Press-Enterprise, in two starts against the Angels, Gallagher has allowed three runs and six hits in 14 innings.

Gallagher has responded beautifully from his dreadful 10-run outing courtesy of the Twins on Aug. 19, as he blanked the Tigers over four hit-free innings in his return start on Sept. 10. He still holds some risky, especially with an anemic offense by his side, but he's certainly one to watch when he takes his 5.16 ERA to spacious McAfee Coliseum for a showdown with the Mariners next.

Analysis: Gallagher hadn't won a game since beating the same Angels on July 11. This was far and away his best game in a long time for the A's. A nice sign. Still, we don't trust it. He remains a risky mixed league Fantasy starter from now until the end of the year. Gallagher made the folks who started him in this two-start week happy, however. His next scheduled start comes Sunday against Seattle for a chance for a great numbers week

Gallagher entered with a 1-2 record and 6.55 ERA in seven starts with the A's, who acquired him from the Cubs in the deal that sent Rich Harden to Chicago.

Analysis: Gallagher left with a no-hitter after 88 pitches. He is a potential sleeper in Fantasy Week 25 (Sept. 15-21) as a two-start pitcher now, despite working for the lowly A's. His first start is against the Angels, but they are likely to have clinched the division by then

Meyer is 0-4 with an 8.03 ERA, and he has yet to record a win in seven career starts and 19 appearances. Batters are hitting .301 against him this season.

Analysis: Gallagher is a sleeper down the stretch, but we wouldn't trust him in Fantasy Week 24 (Sept. 8-14) at Detroit. That is a relatively tough matchup for a young starter on a non-contender

Analysis: Gallagher certainly looked sharp against playoff Triple-A hitting. Still, he is nothing more than a high-risk starter for the deepest of AL-only leagues if he returns in September. Long term there is potential here, but he is not trustworthy down the stretch
