Players must be on a major league roster for (about) 90 days for the year to count, at which point they are eligable for free agency six years later. A-Rod's 1994 call-up didn't last that long, which is why he wasn't a free agent until 2000. It was the call-up in 1995 that pushed him over the edge, as evidenced by counting the years he was a "big-leaguer"...1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (at which point he was a free agent). This year, Felix won't get passed that mark, so his arbitration clock won't start ticking until 2006 at the earliest. Thus, the only danger in bringing him up is that he might get hurt, but that could have happened at Tacoma, of course</p>
