Service Time and Organizational Control
I've been combing the 40 man roster. Is there a place that shows how long a player is under organizational control going forward? Just in going through the pitchers it wasn't clear to me from any of the stats how many days Ascanio has been up with the Cubs--so I couldn't tell if we will have 4, 5 or 6 years of organizational control. Same with Jesse Chavez who was called up at the end of August last year. I assume it is five after this year, but does any blog or site directly address this?
Relating to this topic there is a nice post on FanGraphs here:

Money Quote:
Back to the Pirates trades as a whole, I ran the math for service time. Without including 2009’s service time, the Pirates have traded 28 years worth of team control time for 95 years worth. Obviously not every player acquired is going to reach the majors or be attractive enough to keep through their first six years, but wow, talk about adding some depth.
----------
Adding the fact that virtually everyone we traded was accruing ML service time and very few of the players received in return were or will be up this year, this ratio will become even greater at season's end. It is amazing in all the analysis of trades, everybody talks about contract dollars, generally saying any shedding of money is a salary dump. Very few, if any, discuss impending free agency or service time. Amazing.
I will try and post a complete list if there isn't one readily available of the remaining years of organizational control of all the players on the 40 man if I can sort it out and it hasn't already been done.

is the best place to go for service time prior to this season. During the current season…you pretty much have to comb the transactions and count days.
Best site there is!
