The 2006 Scouting Report, By The Fans, For The Fans
UPDATE (Sep 19)
This is your last chance to vote, before the Globe Gloves are awarded at the end of the season. Voting has already surpassed last year’s total, but the more hardcore fans who contribute, the better.
INITIAL (AUG 21)
It’s the fourth annual fielding survey. I’m hoping for another great turnout this year. Please take a few moments, and participate!

You can also check out the results for 2005. And if you have a blog, please, spread the word.
UPDATE (Sep 5)
Panic mode now down to: Marlins, D’Rays, Nats. Loria-Samson has been involved with two of them. Coincidence?
UPDATE (Sep 3)
Feedback’s been great. I am now in panic mode only for these teams: Marlins, Royals, D’Rays, Rox, Nats. Total ballots is now at 1073 (median 22).
UPDATE (Sep 1)
I am looking for fans from these teams: Marlins, Royals, Reds, Rockies, D’Rays, Phillies, Nationals, Indians, all at 10 fans or less. If you have a blog, please, spread the word to those fans!
UPDATE (Aug 25)
In less than five days, I’ve already received close to 700 ballots, already surpassing the first year totals, and closing in on the second year totals. Last year, I received 1200 ballots, so we still have a ways to go. Seattle Mariner fans, mostly courtesy of the gang at USS Mariner have contributed an absurdly high 230 ballots, which is more than the next 5 highest (BOS, TOR, NYY, NYM, BAL) combined.
On the other end, and my plea for today, is for the fans of other teams to participate. I have yet to receive any Marlin ballots. Rangers, Brewers, Rockies, D’Rays, Phillies, Royals, Reds so far are bringing up the rear, with 5 ballots or less. Please, spread the word to those fans!
