After a lapse is posts we are ready to return to our all-time college women's basketball tournament.
However, we did want to do one last look back at the 6 months we spend on the Statis-Pro baseball season.
In the NL, the runner up in both Statis-Pro and the real season, was the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In the World Series, the AL champion was the Tampa Bay Rays and in both Statis-Pro and actual MLB play the Rays lost.
So of the top three teams, the only difference was that the Philadelphia Phillies won the Statis-Pro World Series while our hometown Milwaukee Brewers won the actual World Series.
So we pulled the WAR ratings for most of the major players from the Brewers and Phillies to see why it was the Brewers who seemed better - and will have the better projected cards in Statis-Pro for next year vs the Brewers. And it's pretty clear as overall the major Brewers players were worth more that 13 additoinal wins in 2026 vs 2025 which would have been the strongerest impact on the cards. Obviously almost half of that is Misiorowski, who had control problems in his rookie 2025 and thus lots of walks on his cards, while in 2026 he was untouchable - thus worth 6.4 wins above replacement vs just 0.5 in 2025.
Three other Milwaukee players were worth about 3 more wins in 2026 than 2025, and there were also two Phillies starters and the closer who were worth about 3 more wins.
However, the biggest drop for the Phillies was Trea Turner actually going from being worth 5.5 wins in 2025 to almost no value in 2026 - so he was the big collapse costing the team almost as much as the Brewers benefitted from Jacob's improvement.
