The Faces of Super Two, Part 3

With 99 days remaining in the seasons, here's a look at two more of The Faces of Super Two:

Rob Refsynder, OF, Tampa Bay.  Refsnyder had been on a Major League roster the entire season until he was outrighted by the Rays Friday, removing him from the 40-man roster.

Refsnyder currently has two years and 20 days of service time.  This number would not give a chance to qualify for Super Two status, even if he had stayed on a big league roster.  However, if doesn't find his way back on a 40-man roster before season's end, the result is one less player in the pool to determine the number of Super Two qualifiers.

This is bad news from the last player on the Super Two bubble.

Pat Valaika, 1B, Colorado. Valaika was promoted by Colorado on Saturday.  This was his second promotion of the 2018 season.

Valaika currently has one year and 75 days of service time.  If he can stay in the big leagues for the remainder of the season, he will just barely pass the two year service time threshold.

This will not qualify him for Super Two status; however, it would add a name to the pool used to calculate the number of Super Two qualifiers.

This would be good news for the last player on the Super Two bubble.
