I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, since there was clamoring for it in General.
Suggestion
New feature: Possible player Ejections for HBPs, charging the mound, arguing calls, etc. Possible Suspensions for same. I'd find it especially interesting if events like charging the mound were linked with player personality ratings.
Reason
Realism, for one. From a gameplay perspective, it now is always advantageous to intentionally hit a batter rather than walk him intentionally; it saves three pitches, and there's the chance of injuring the opposing player (this happened on 1 in 30 intentional HBPs in my tests, with max injury proneness and frequency). There should be potential adverse consequences for intentionally hitting a batter. I'll post about suspensions, which could easily be implemented as injuries, in the Customization thread.
Priority
Medium/High.
