I just tried importing the same league again. Only this time I did not create minors, and I shut off ghost players, injuries, financials, spring training, and anything else that would cause the AI to move players around or mess with the imported teams. Plus, I wanted it to go really fast.
What I noticed when I imported was that the League Totals in the MLE were not the totals from my league, nor were they the totals that get loaded when you start up a default MAL game. So, I changed them to be the totals for the end of last season in our league.
Here are the results:
174 team shutouts in one sub-league, 160 in the other. 334 total.
143 individual shutouts.
Slightly better, but not quite there. I'm still not sure if it's the ratings that the players are getting post-conversion that's causing the problem or the MLE settings.

"Beings will come, Frodo. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. Middle Earth has rolled by like an army of Mumakil. It has been erased like a slate, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Frodo. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... beings will come Frodo. Beings will most definitely come." -
