This happens to me constantly, with any type of league I choose to play...

Few big-time stars switch teams. But if a big-time star _does_ switch, he's nearly guaranteed to turn into Gaylord Perry. In the league I'm playing currently, a RF named Joseph Kohler has won the MVP award in 6/8 seasons. He's far and away the best hitter in the game. And he's played for Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox, the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Brooklyn again, and the Cubs again.

This seems to happen in every league... a couple of stars turn into nomads, while all the other stars stay put. It's most obvious in leagues where the financials are turned off, but it seems to happen even in modern full financial free agency games.

Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but it's a factor I'd like to see changed down the road. It just seems to happen too often for realism's sake.
