To be honest, most of the transactions carried out during the baseball season are only of minor importance (if of any importance at all) in relation to the developing Super Two picture. However, the Red Sox made a move yesterday that in the Super Two world is huge.
On Tuesday, Boston optioned reliever Ryan Brasier to AAA. Through Monday, Brasier had accrued a career total of two years and 64 days of service time. He WAS on track to finish the year with 2.126 in service time. This number put him in line to be one of the final four or five players to earn Super Two status.
This demotion could alter that destination for Brasier.
If he stays in the minors for 15 or more days, his career total at season's end could very easily drop below the threshold needed to earn an extra year of arbitration eligibility. A stay of 25 days in the minors will put him on track to end the season with 2.115 of career service time, at great risk to be left out of the Super Two circle.
