Phil Hughes is listed as a RP despite being a starter all year. Chances are his score would be significantly better as a starter than the 70.1 it is as a reliever.
Combined games played in 2009-2010. Hughes is a reliever for the purposes of these rankings.

I hope John Buck gets to Type A by the end of the season.
Piccamo
Why? There’s less chance of him declining arbitration or of another club signing him if he gets Type A. I think it’s best for the Blue Jays and for Buck if he only sits at Type B.
Dave_Gershman
Fair point. I guess if they can get another Aaron Sanchez they will be quite happy.

I notice Joe Nathan on there. And he hasn’t played all year. But I guess I only sort of understand this thing.
Magglio doesn’t drop from Type A status while he spends another half season on the DL, but Damon’s toiling away and dropping down on the B list. I can’t see the Tigers offering arby to either one, but Ordonez may be back at about half price for a year.

Brad Hawpe was added to their active roster before midnight on 8/31 so he would be post-season eligible so shouldn’t he be included in these rankings?
Also, none of the Japanese free agents should be in bold unless they have 6 years of service time because they are not the type of ML free agents that can get you compensation.
Nope… he was called up 9/1… If you don’t believe me, who did they send down to make room and keep the roster under 25? There’s your easy check.
That said, he’s still eligible for the postseason so long as there is a DL’ed position player when the playoffs come around, but that’s a discussion for another day.
Also, some of the Japanese players have clauses that allow them to be regular free agents. It’s tricky.

Immediately after the Rays game on 8/31 and before midnight, they selected Hawpe to their roster and optioned Sonnanstine down.
Regarding the Japanese players, it has nothing to do with their contracts. It’s in the CBA that they must have 6 years of ML service to have comp. It’s clearly written in Article XX(B)(4) of the Basic Agreement.
Cristian Guzman was on the DL for the Rangers on 8/31 but no longer appears in the rankings. He couldn’t have been so bad he fell completely off the rankings….could he?
Ummm.. why is Francisco Rodriguez (LAA) listed as a type A? I could see Francisco Rodriguez (Mets) being a type A, but not the other Francisco Rodriguez (Angels).

Thanks as always for the update. Please bold Hiroki Kuroda who will be a free agent as well. Thanks.

Koji Uehara is listed with italics, which indicates he’s a free agent with an option, but his contract has no such option.

All players on an active roster or disabled list on 8/31 are eligible.

Kuroda has a clause that makes him a free agent when this contract is done.
thebigZ
That’s correct but he won’t be a XXB free agent because he doesn’t have 6 years of ML service time. No XXB free agent, no compensation.
Eddie Bajek
Uehara has a clause that states he is XX(B) free agent at the conclusion of the contract. Kuroda does not.

Heyward’s a type b and yet he isn’t a super 2 yet?

Error in the output… Blame BBR and Cbssportsline for not naming Steve Tollison the same (or me for poor programming).
Either way, Guzman is No Type, 46.753
