Can someone tell me how many days before Sept. 1 Martin was up with the big club? I do not need games played or innings. I need to know how many days for last year. 45 or less he is free. More than 45 he is not.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Here's something...his actual debut was September 2, 2011.
It took Martin less than a year to reach the major leagues. On August 30th, he was called up to the majors when the Rangers placed Nelson Cruz on the disabled list with a strained hamstring, although for the time being Endy Chavez, like Martín a fast lefthanded batter able to play all outfield positions, was slated to fill in as the starter for the injured Cruz. He made his debut against the Boston Red Sox on September 2nd and singled off Tim Wakefield in his first at-bat as a pinch-hitter for Josh Hamilton in the 8th inning. He then took over for Hamilton in center field. He went 3 for 8 in 8 games in his first taste of the majors, then returned to Round Rock to begin the 2012 season. He was hitting .344 with 9 doubles, 5 homers and 22 RBI in 31 games when he was called-up to Texas on June 15th after Hamilton was temporarily laid down with a stomach virus.Last edited by Hornsby; 01-13-2013, 11:36 AM."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

In 2011 his option was recalled on August 30. I don't know if you care about major league service days in 2011.
I count 48 days in 2012 prior to September, so it may be moot."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

One thought: Most of us less, er, literal leagues just ignore the 45-day service portion of the rookie rule and go by the MLB career 130 AB or 50 IP.

If the question is when he officially crossed the rookie milestone according to MLB rules, that date was July 27, 2012."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

Thank you all for your input.
I remembered that our constitution had 130 innings for hitters, 50 innings for pitchers. I checked back and it also has the 45 day roster rule.
That makes Martin $15B going into this year. Since I cannot keep him as a free rookie I decided to trade him.Comment
