I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't care one bit about Super-2 status. It's strictly about money and that's something they should have plenty of at this rate. As for part two, yes they can acquire an additional year of control. I made a service time breakdown post in another thread, if I can scrounge it up I'll repost it here. Here's that post Edit: The minimum time to spend in the minors is 20 days. Anything less than 20 days and the player is given full ML credit for it. Also, yes, players accrue major league service time while on the DL.
