Fans Scouting Report: players on multiple teams
Below you will find the results of the 26 players who played on more than one team in 2011, and who received at least 5 votes from each of their teams’ fans. Wilson Betemit for example received an identical (overall) score from both the Royals fans and the Tigers fans. You will see broad agreement for most players.
Those who didn’t get much agreement either points to a gap in the methodology, or perhaps captures some dissatisfaction with that player. Colby Rasmus for example probably embodies this the best, with a low score with the Cards fans (in 2011) of 44, while he got a 63 with Jays fans. Last year with the Cards, his fans gave him a 57, and in 2009 he was a 71.

Is there any way to determine whether the same people voted for Betemit twice (i.e. voted on both the Royals’ and Tigers’ ballots)? This is the confound I’ve thought of when this kind of thing was observed in the past (a few years ago, I think we saw identical scores with Orlando Cabrera on two teams the same year).
