The talk out of camp is about four guys for two spots, or 7-for-5. Not a Sean Gallagher or Kevin Hart in there. The back-end of the rotation will be filled with veterans, unless something unexpected happens. Of course, the young ones will get start as the season goes by, for one reason or another.

Ryan Dempster, Jason Marquis, Jon Lieber and Sean Marshall are competing for the remaining two openings.
Dempster, while sucking up to Lou at the mall, appears to be going for the Payton work-out.

Over at The Cub Reporter, AZ Phil said that Sean Gallagher was not with any group pitching today (all pitchers were in one of 4 groups).
This could men that Gallagher is a day or two late. It could mean that the Cubs are close to a deal sending him to another team.
It also could mean that he's injured.
Very interesting - thanks for the tip
or could it mean Jim Hendry is dealing him soon?
anon, yes, I included in that in the possible scenarios.
The 4th scenario, and probably the most likely at this point, is just that...something came up and he was unable to be there.
Or, AZ Phil said it himself, he may have just missed him.
