Kansas City? Championships? You're funny. They made the playoffs in 1970, 2003, 2005 and 2007. The '03 team had Brian Daubach, Kevin Youkilis and Bill Mueller as starting infielders. Daubach was out after '05 but Jason Varitek became the starting catcher in '04 and the other two stuck around for '07 as well.....
Brett played for, of all teams, the Red Sox. He was about a .310 hitter for the first seven and a half years of his career before getting hit with Talent drops. He lost his starting job but stuck with the Sox for four more seasons getting a handful of ABs a year. Finished his career with one year and 45 ABs in St. Louis. Racked up 1360 career hits. .299/.346/.442
Sabes had six and a third mediocre years for the Expos. 63-88, 4.87, 1264 IP. He suffered a big Talent drop the year after his rookie season.
Wilson had five ok years for the Cardinals before, you guessed it, a talent drop. Over those five seasons he generally hit .300 with a .320 OBP (ugh) and just shy of 40 steals a year. He had one bad year for the Cards as a starter and then left the club and totalled about 600 ABs over the next 11 years of his career. 256 career steals, 1339 hits.
Talent change randomness is at 100. I dropped it to 75 for the 1901-2007 league I'm playing out. I find it balances out better for what I want even though I leave recalc off.
