Two players in the Super Two picture were designated for assignment in the last few days. Interestingly, their each of their destinations could have unique effects on the status of the players on the Super Two bubble.
Tyler White, Houston. (DFA'd on July 20). Through Monday, White had 2 years and 47 days of service time. It is better for players on the bubble if White is picked up by another team and stays on a 40-man roster through season's end. Here's why:
White doesn't have enough career time to attain a Super Two slot. His maximum for this season is 2.101. If he stays on a 40-man roster he COULD, (based on the formula used to determine Super Two slots) however increase the number of available Super Two slots.
Dalton Pompey, Toronto. (DFA'd on July 23). Through Monday, Pompey had 2 years and 97 days of service time. If he manages to stay on an active roster through the end of the season, he will end with 2.151. This is prime Super Two territory.
It is better for players on the bubble if Pompey ends up being outrighted by Toronto.
