More Bucks for Hader? Part II

Yesterday, I looked at the first factor that will influence the chances of Josh Hader qualifying for Super Two status.  If you missed it, check out How Many Players with More Service Time than Hader Qualify for Super Two Status?

Today, let's take a look at the second factor.

How many players with LESS service time than Hader are qualified for Super Two status?

The number of Super Two slots is based on the number of players who end a given season with at least two years of career service time, less than three years of career service time, and at least 86 days of service time in the completed season.

The top 22% of the players with these qualifications(not including remainders BUT including ties) are granted SUPER TWO status.  Doing the math, there is one SUPER TWO slot for every 4.5 players in the group.

Keeping this in mind, it is beneficial for Josh Hader (and other bubble dwellers) to have more players earn at least two years of service time, as long as though players don't pass Hader's 2 years and 115 days of service time.

The following seven players have no chance for Super Two status.  However, if they make it to two years of service time, they could potentially be responsible for the opening of an additional Super Two slot for someone on the bubble.


Daniel Mengden, Oakland- (1.166, career through July 8) (38 days in 2019)- needs at least 48 days.

Phil Maton, San Diego- (1.159) (52 days)- needs at least 34 days- currently in minors.

Jarrett Parker, Angels- (1.149) (6 days)- needs at least 80 days.

Yadiel Rivera, Miami- (1.130) (25 days)- needs at least 61 days.

Jose Cisnero, Detroit- (1.109) (17 days)- needs at least 69 days.

Dustin Garneau, Angels- (1.097) (39 days)- needs at least 75 days.

Rookie Davis, Pittsburgh- (1.090) (45 days)- needs at least 82 days.
