| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Houston Astros | 40 | 0.040 | From transactions |
| 2010 | Houston Astros | 170 | 1.038 | From transactions |
| 2011 | Houston Astros | 172 | 2.038 | From transactions |
| 2012 | Houston Astros | 172 | 3.038 | From transactions |
| 2013 | Colorado Rockies | 172 | 4.038 | Carried forward |
| 2014 | Colorado Rockies | 18 | 4.056 | From transactions |
172 days credit a full year, so a season adds at most 1.000 no matter how long a player is on a roster. 3.000 years reaches salary arbitration and 6.000 reaches free agency —
what every threshold unlocks.
