Bobo Newsom moved around the majors in a similar fashion. Between 1929-53 he played for the Senators five times, Browns three times, Dodgers & Athletics twice each and the Yankees, Tigers, Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants once each. Not to mention he didn't play in the majors during the 1931, 1933, 1949, 1950 & 1951 seasons.

Would you guys consider Seanez a guy who has won a World Series? A friend an I were having this argument.... he by all accounts was on the Phillies all season last year, although didn't play in any playoff games, (so probably wasn't on the playoff rosters).
