I don't know what OOTP does in regard to minor league service accounting, but something that needs to be considered is how many days of service during a season are needed for a season of service to be counted.

In real life, there are at least three different methods used:

(1) For league service time restrictions, a season of service is 30 days or more on the roster of a minor league club at a given classification.

(2) For minor league free agency (which requires seven years' of service), a year is 1 day or more on the roster of a minor league club (this includes players on option from a major league club).

(3) For the purposes of being eligible for a fourth option year, a year of service is 90 days or more on the roster of a minor or major league club (this rule specifically excludes the short season leagues).
