In addition to these eight players, three current Brewers have a chance of becoming arbitration eligible for the first time either by accruing three years of service time or as SUPER TWOs.  Super Two status is granted to players who:

#1 Have at least years two years and less than three years of major league service time at the end of a season.

#2 Rank in the top 22% of players of all players who have at least two years and less than three years of service time- in terms of service time accrued. Please note that the exact number of days of service needed to qualify for Super Two status varies from season to season.  The number usually falls between 2 years and 120 days and 2 years and 145 days.

#3 Accrued at least 86 days of major league service time in the just completed season.
