He played in 147 games, so, any adjustment to his plate appearances would likely have him capable of playing over 154 games, which could be considered a worse crime than him not getting credited for a handful of extra plate appearances.
Any adjustment to the plate appearances formula should lead to a higher salary adjustment to reflect increased durability, so, it's not as if anyone should expect to find a bargain should Suzuki (or others) suddenly turn into ironmen because of a more favorable plate appearance calculation.
The only ones applauding a proposed adjustment in how plate appearances are calculated would be:
1)those who know who the players are who suddenly have turned into ironmen.
2)those who seek out those players in hopes their salaries haven't changed.
