LaDouceur, Coffee, Crozier, and Hatt are right on the doorstep. We can't call them locks to get in, though, because of one thing: uncertain playing time.
LaDouceur's playing time nearly evaporated in 2015. He played just 8 games, adding 5 hits to his career total. If repeated that number would be enough, but his last game was June 20. Will he be back?
Coffee's been happy to take on a manager-first role the past two years, keeping him from already surpassing the 100 H mark. Making his chance a long shot in 2016 isn't his stick, he had 8 H in under half a season played (61 PA) in 2013, rather the question of whether Carl will be back with us next year.
Crozier racked up 5 hits in just 2 games in 2015 while living in Boston. His summer 2016 plans are up in the air, but if he can fit just a few weeks of WSEM into his schedule he'll shoot past 100 with ease.
Since beginning his career with 45 H in 2012, Hatt has played part time ever since. Living in Chicago will have that effect. 20 H could be a steep challenge; Sam hasn't bested 15 H in any of the last 3 seasons.
Farkas and Werner are the last two names on this list, but they aren't long shots to make the 100-hit club in 2016. Both are only two seasons in and average over 35 hits per. Barring anything keeping them from a full-season, go ahead and call this easy money.
