Super Two/Arbitration Update: The September Call-ups

With September roster expansions just two days away, there are nine players on 40-man rosters who could affect the Super Two picture if they are promoted to the big leagues for the month of September.  Please note there are a total of 31 potential service days from September 1 through the end of the regular season.

The seven players fall into three categories:

1) Players who could earn enough service time to qualify for arbitration with at least three years, thus leaving the potential Super Two pool, used to calculate the 22%.

Name, Organization, Service Time this season, Service Time total through August 29

Joc Pederson, Dodgers, 139 days, 2.167
Phil Gosselin, Rangers, 62 days, 2.147

2) Players who, with a September call-up, could move up enough in the service time rankings to be in the top 22%, and thus qualify for Super Two status.

Jorge Soler, Royals, 81 days, 2.114
Ryan Rua, Rangers, 95 days, 2.103
Blaine Hardy, Tigers, 61 days, 2.098

3) Players who could earn enough service time to end the year with a least two years of service time.  These players can't qualify as Super Twos, but if they reach the two year threshold, they will add to the number of players in the pool used to calculate the 22%.

Travis Jankowski, Padres, 124 days, 1.171
Shawn O'Malley, Mariners, 124 days, 1.156
Eddie Butler, Cubs, 67 days, 1.141
