2019 Faces of Super Two- Volume 2.1

So the season is only ten days old, and two faces have already been promoted to the Faces of Super Two list.

Pat Valaika, Rockies. The Rockies demoted Valaika to AAA near the end of Spring Training.  At that time, he had 1 year and 169 days of service time, making him a prime Super Two candidate if he could spend a large portion of the season in the big leagues(around 135 days). 

Valaika's time in the minors was short as an injury to Daniel Murphy led to his promotion on April 1.  If he stays up in the majors, his Super Two chances are very much alive.

Kyle Ryan, Cubs. Like Valaika, Ryan was demoted by the Cubs before opening day.  However, Ryan only had one year and 139 days of service time.  He can only withstand a very short stay in the minors before his Super Two window closes.

The Cubs promoted him on April 6, so he is still capable of earning a full year of service time.  At this time, his Super Two chances remain viable.
