So OOTP moves pitcher X, who has abilities that add up to the correct amount, to the weaker team.
The next time OOTP does its check, the original stronger team is now slightly weaker because Pitcher X is on the other side of the scale... so it moves him back...
Even the Rookie to A promotions might work like that. Player A is barely over the border of being good enough to get promoted. So the game promotes him. He plays one game and goes 0 for 4. The algorithm part of the game factors that in and now, he's not quite good enough to be at the higher level, and he gets moved back down.
Just a theory of course - I have no idea how the code works.

That certainly seems logical to me. Obviously I don't know how the code works either, but it would seem to explain things like this if so.
