I know this question is asked all the time, because I see it all the time. Yet I forget the answer and can't find it anywhere... How many ML games do I have to wait to call someone up and avoid arb for a year? 22?

20 minor league days. Including off days. Go to the League Schedule page, select, AAA, and count 20 lines down. Then do it after that cycle.

Thank you.

What is the total number of days service time you get before you get credit for a season? I've got a CF I just traded for w/ 47 days of Major League service time w/ his previous organization, and I wouldn't mind saving a season of service time by keeping him in AAA thru the all star break or what ever. How many days would he have to stay in AAA?

Found my answer, 172 days of major league service time. How many days in a season? I'm 172-47-off days until then, is that correct?

there are around 180, I believe.

176

Yeah, there aren't a whole lot more than 172 days in the season. However, if you spend less than 20 days in the minor leagues, those days spent in the minors count as major league service days. That's why you have to spend 20 in the minors, so they count as minor league days rather than major league days.
