Yes and Yes.

Here are some irrational things I have done because of my attachment to player's:

1. Traded/released them so they could start on another team even though keeping them was more valuable to me.
2. Traded back for one because he still wasn't starting and I would rather have him on MY bench if that was the case.
3. Refused to release/trade a guy even though I had better players on the farm just because I couldn't bring myself to let him play for someone else.
4. Signed players for one or two years (some for 7+ million) just so they would finish their career with me even though they were clearly aging, cost me a ton, would not be valuable and with more useful players waiting in the minors.
5. Having my star player pitch the last game of the season with a Wildcard round impending just because I felt he deserved a chance to continue his streak of 20 win seasons... I of course lost the Wildcard and probably would have won if he could have pitched twice in it.
6. Having favourite players play in positions/spots when they are clearly not the best suited but whom I had become attached to and could not bring myself to "demote" them out of it.
