So who leads the Pirates in PA in 2007? Bay's an obvious choice. Who else might reach 650 plate appearances? I'd guess Wilson and that's it. Adam LaRoche looks like a 550 PA guy to me, unless he's been getting minor-league at-bats the last few years. I have to look into that.
This is an important early step in doing your Pirates sudoku. Now that the team is more or less settled, it's time to do this.
It's my hunch that plenty of PT will fall to Castillo, Bautista, Nady, and Jose Hernandez. I can see all three of those guys getting all the PT they can handle.
FWIW, in that December 2005 link I predicted 6050 PA for the Pirates in 2006. They finished with we could call it 6106 (5558 AB, 459 BB, 89 (!) HBP).
