Perhaps someone should tell Avi Sommer that Asche is a poor example of service time manipulation. If a player is sent down for less than 20 days the time spent in the minors still counts as Major League service time. If the Phillies were manipulating service time, they would’ve sent him down for at least 21 days. They could’ve kept him under 2 full seasons if they kept him down for 63 days.
