    Service time starts once you are called up, and you are still considered part of the MLB roster until you get sent down in season, even on the DL. Castro missed an entire season and it still counted towards service time. I'm pretty sure Alex White has gotten 2 years of service time as well.

    The difference between getting hurt in the show and in the minors is huge.

    Yeah, but isn't super 2 status determined by number of AB's, production, along with service time?

    I know he was called up prior to the deadline, which made him super 2 eligible... just seeing if he would still fall under those parameters.

    One vs. two years of arbitration is a big deal... especially for somebody of Springer's ability (hence why they should try to get him locked into one of those arbitration-early FA deals asap).

    EDIT: n/m... I see that he'd just have to be in the top 22% of all 2 year players, which he will be.

    Injury is frequently brought up with end of year promotion (especially pitchers).

    I finally saw his first start and it was awesome how many times guys would swing and miss with this perplexed look on their faces afterwards. He was really fooling guys with movement and change of speeds.

    Ashby uses the word 'intriguing' more than anyone I have ever heard.

    Is it just me, because Ashby never seemed this obnoxious on radio.
