In honor of the "I always get the worst/best card from..." threads, I thought I'd start a different version of it, looking at the cards that produce results that are the furthest away from the actual card. Looking only at guys with [b:cc469117ee]400 or more at bats,[/b:cc469117ee] so that it isn't a small sample size issue, I'd be curious to see how far off the actual results can be.

I'll start:

232 points: Evans .219 .366 .322 .688 OPS on his .920 OPS '84 card

When you post your examples - throw the home stadium in there for some perspective.

Singleton '79 -134
Yount '89 -126
B. Ripken '87 -113

All 3 of these underperformers were on the same team in Tiger Stadium for my March Madness round 2 loser. By far my most frustrating team. This team also had Eckersley '89 have an ERA of 5.72 vice 1.56 - I know he gives up a lot of HRs v L but an ERA difference of 4 runs? :evil:
