Brad Bergesen has an estimated 3 years and 39 days of major league service time — 3.039 in the notation clubs use, from 555 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Baltimore Orioles | 169 | 0.169 | From transactions |
| 2010 | Baltimore Orioles | 160 | 1.157 | From transactions |
| 2011 | Baltimore Orioles | 158 | 2.143 | From transactions |
| 2012 | Arizona Diamondbacks | 68 | 3.039 | 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.
