Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Texas.
Kiner-Falefa was demoted by the Rangers either last Tuesday or last Thursday. Either way, it is now mathematically impossible for him to reach two full years of service time by the end of this season.
Kiner-Falefa's demotion could have a significant impact on the Super Two picture. According to my currently projections, he was in line to be the 132 player to qualify for the pool of players used to determine the 22% who qualify for Super Two status.
Doing the math:
If there are 132 qualifiers, there are 29 Super Two positions.
If there are 131 qualifiers, there are only 28 Super Two positions.
In essence, Kiner-Falefa's demotion could well mean that one player gets bumped from the Super Two bubble.
The most likely candidate is Arizona pitcher Luke Weaver.
