I know this topic gets brought up on probably a weekly basis, but I'm wondering if anyone could tell me the calculation specifically as it relates to when a player has a year counted towards arbitration.
Take Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Benny Delgado for example.
He'll be called up this season, but I'm unsure of when I can call him up and let him avoid having a year of his arbitration clock ticked off.
In Season 21, he was called up late and played in 9 games.
In Season 22, he was never called up.
In Season 23, he was called up late and played in 26 games.
How many games into Season 24 can I call him up and it not count as a year towards arbitration? The baseline is 20 games, right? Does his previous 35 games mean I need to wait 55 games?
Any help would be appreciated.
