Update on March 29: One player can be added to this list. The Cubs optioned Kyle Ryan to AAA before the season opened. Ryan has one year and 139 days of MLB service time.
With just four days until opening day, three players who have been optioned to the minor leagues face a decreased chance of qualifying for Super Two status at season's end. These three have a service time level that puts them in strong contention for Super Two status if they are on the big league roster for a whole season. However, without a full 172 days of service time, that accomplishment is unlikely.
NOTE: A player needs to have at least 2 years, 120-135 days of service time to at season's end to have a shot at SUPER TWO
Ian Happ, Cubs, 1 year, 142 days.
Jarlin Garcia, Marlins, 1 year, 132 days.
Juan Minaya, White Sox, 1 year, 129 days.
SECOND NOTE: Pat Valaika with the Rockies was optioned to AAA with one year and 169 days of service time. He has a little bit of leeway; however, more than six weeks in the minors will end his Super Two chances this season.
