Even if he's not actually on the 40-man roster? Just making sure I understand you correctly...as I said, I can see the logic of extending arbitration benefits to players who are in not in the Majors, but are on the 40-man roster. (That makes them members of MLBPA, right?)

No, this player was already beyond 3 years of MLB service time, and was listed as "arbitration eligible in offseason". The model works, I'm just trying to ascertain that the consequences are correct - or rather, that they will still be correct once we're able to outright players off the 40-man.
