Mets closer Jenrry Mejia, Yankees pitcher David Phelps, Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon and Angels pitcher Garrett Richards also are among the so-called Super 2s.
White Sox reliever Javy Guerra, Houston infielder Marwin Gonzalez and White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana were the last players to make it, with 2 years, 133 days of major league service, up from 122 days last year and down from 139 after the 2012 season.
