Man, what did this guy do to the fans?

Perhaps he just put down the team and demanded a trade. Phillies fans got kind of upset at Scott Rolen at the time when he was trying to get the team to move him, though some got upset at him for saying things about the team that the fans had been saying for years... There's no pleasing some people.
Also, he could be the sort of player who puts up gaudy numbers but people who see him every day knows he doesn't give it his all on every play and it costs the team, for example by not running out a ground ball that a fielder fumbles and getting thrown out instead of being safe on an error. Fans tend not to be overly forgiving of things like that. Or he could have arrived in a trade for a popular player, or replaced one, and the fans won't forgive him for not being the other guy. Lotta possibilities, though we kind of have to fill them in on our own.
