NOTE: I am 93.8% sure that the math in this post is accurate.
If Brad Peacock is going to become arbitration eligible at the end of the 2016 season, he has no room for error and, for that matter, no room for another trip to Fresno.
Houston promoted Peacock to the Major Leagues today. At the time of his promotion, Peacock had accumulated 2 years and 127 days of major league service time. Including today, there are 45 days left in the 2016 regular season.
If Peacock stays on the Astros' active roster continuously from now until the end of the season, he will have a total of 2 years and 172 days of MLB service time. 172 days equals one year of MLB service time, so Peacock with 2 years and 172 days (3 years) would be arbitration eligible heading into the off-season.
You ask, "Would Peacock have a shot at being a Super Two arbitration eligible player if he falls a few days short of 172 days?" That is a great question, but the answer is no.
Hypothetically, if Peacock ended the year with 2 years and 171 days of service time, he could not become a Super Two arbitration candidate. Why? To be a Super Two candidate in the 2016 off-season Peacock would need to have at least 86 days of service time in the 2016 season. At this point , Peacock can not accumulate the needed 86 days of service time this season.
No offense, Fresno, but I'm guessing Brad Peacock doesn't even want to see you for one day between now and October 2.
