Carlos Perez, C, Rangers. Last September, I wrote a post in which I explored how possible it would be for a team to manipulate the Super Two system on the back end. As the 2018 season progresses I see that Carlos Perez could be a candidate for such a scenario.
Perez has been outrighted to AAA by Texas. He currently has 108 days of service time this season and two years, 129 days for his career. If Perez could at least 15-20 more days on a big league roster this season, he would be a cinch to qualify for Super Two status.
NOTE: Perez cannot accrue 43 or more days over the remainder of the season. Doing so would give him three years of service time and remove him from the Super Two equation.
What Does This Mean?
If Perez is injected into the Super Two picture, one player on the bubble would find himself in danger of being knocked off the bubble. At this point, here a few players in danger of being on said bubble:
(Service time listed is player's projected time at season's end if they stay on big league roster for remainder of 2018.)
Lindgren, Atlanta(2.134)
Edwards, Cubs(2.134)
Biagini, Toronto(2.134)
Schebler, Cincinnati(2.132)
Mahtook, Detroit(2.132)
Bush, Texas(2.131)
Texas has the best opportunity here since they already have Perez in their system. If the decide to release him, the other five teams could pick him up and use him for some bubble bouncing depending on how the Super Two picture develops over the next six weeks.
