So if a batter were to somehow get 131 ABs in September (not going to happen) he would not be eligible for ROY the following year.

Theoretically, a player could get more than 130 AB or 50 IP if he were called up more than once when rosters expanded and still be under the 45 day limit. With 4 AB a game you still need around 33 games to get over 150. So a guy could be on his 3rd roster expansion call up and have 130 ABs. That is about the equivalent of 11 starts a call up.
