I sort of thought this WAS in OOTP. Just a greater propensity to choose "pitch around" if the on-deck hitter is significantly worse than the guy batting. It seems that this would be relatively easy to code. Then again, other factors (# of outs, who's on base and where) are also important in the decision to issue an "unintentional intentional walk". But I'm not a programmer so my opinion is worth LESS than what you paid for it.
