Tracking the Super Twos

One thing I have become intrigued by this summer is figuring out which players will qualify for Super Two status in MLB.  This interest has led to the creation of a spreadsheet that began with all players who started this season with between 1.000 and 2.171 years and days of MLB service time.  

With 10 weeks left in the regular season, I plan to use my spreadsheet to guesstimate who will fall in the 22% group that qualifies for an extra year of arbitration, and the potential extra money that goes with it.  My intention is to post a projected list of "Super Twos"  two or three times between now and the end of the regular season and once after the season has concluded.

A few notes about the database...
An "x" after a player indicates that he has been optioned to the minors
Players in blue have been designated for assignment
Players in red are not currently on a 40-man roster

Please join me as I try to learn a little bit about the Super Two process.

Projection of Super Twos based on service time data through July 23, 2017:
