Faces of Super Two, Part 7

Dixon Machado, IF, Detroit.  Machado was just outrighted to the minor leagues by Detroit on Sunday.  Machado currently has two years and four days of service time.  This total would have put him in the pool used to determine the number of Super Two qualifiers.  However, if he remains off a 40-man roster for the remainder of the season, Machado is out of that pool.

Mikie Mahtook, OF, Detroit.  Interestingly, Machado's removal from the pool could decrease Mahtook's chances of earning Super Two status.  Mahtook currently stands at two years and 48 days of service time. 

If he stays in the big leagues through the end of the season, Mahtook would have two years and 132 days of service time.  That number projects to put Mahtook right on the bubble of Super Two status.  Having Machado out of the pool could be what pushes Mahtook off of the bubble.
