Num	Player	PA	From Year	Thru Year

2	Jose Reyes	3651	2003	2009
3	Carlos Beltran	2966	2005	2009
4	Mike Piazza	2902	2000	2005
5	Carlos Delgado	2023	2006	2009
6	Cliff Floyd	1884	2003	2006
7	Edgardo Alfonzo	1731	2000	2002
8	Todd Zeile	1631	2000	2004
9	Jay Payton	1215	2000	2002
10	Timo Perez	1177	2000	2003

Nothing shocking at the top of the list, but holy crap Timo Perez had the tenth-most plate appearances for the Mets in the last decade! I'll never forget that he caught the last out of the 2000 NLCS, or that he failed to run out that Todd Zeile almost-homerun and was thrown out at the plate in Game 1 of the World Series that year. Now I'll never forget that only nine other Mets came to the plate more often during the aughts.
