Star ratings compare players to others at the same position. Seems to me the variation in the ratings calculated for each player may be sufficient to cause a 1/2 star change from time to time. Perhaps a swing man type of pitcher was an MR in one import and an SP in another.
You should try it with 20-80 instead of stars to better quantify the difference.
