Not sure this adds or subtracts, but I took a look at one similar player in one of my solo leagues, R.Boyter SP
Between 4-7 and 7-7 he went up and down between active and AAA 6 times. In AAA he had a 5-2 record with a 2.31 ERA, ratings were 5-5-7-5-8-4-7 and talents were all Good.
The first two times he came up he wasn't used, and the following 3 times he went 0-3 in the Show.
Each time he moved, it was one of 3 players he switched positions with - each of them also having trouble on the active roster.
On 6-30, the team made the 1st of three trades involving pitchers, one of which was one of the three trading places with Boyter.
On 7-7 Boyter was called up, took his spot in the rotation, and performed at a 4-7 clip.
The team (Baltimore) finished with a 72-82 record, 15 games out of 1st place.
So... what does this mean? At least in this case, the only questionable moves were the 5 ups and downs from 4-4 to 6-30 and I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same if I was managing that team. The three player being juggled all seemd to have a problem when they were promoted, and team management made a decision in July.
Before we assume these ups and downs are bad - we need to look at what's going on under the covers.... maybe, if the movement is to frequent - all we have to do is tighten down whatever coding determines when to pull the trigger....
