Multi-Player and Variable Suspensions

Has anyone ever had multi-player suspensions issued that involved more than 2 players? I've been playing since 13, and I've seen my fair share of suspensions due to bench clearing brawls, but I've never seen more than 2 players suspended. It is always the instigators that get suspended in OOTP. While that does reflect real-world tendency of harsher suspensions for the instigators, there are often times where other players get suspended in the cases of major brawls.

The other thought I have related to this is that the position player and the pitcher always get the same number of games in these situations. Frequently a SP will get 5-7 games in order to assure he misses a start (or at least has it pushed back 1-2 games) and the position player gets a 1-2 game suspension. This prevents a position player from missing 5-7 games that he might have played in where as a SP wouldn't have pitched for 4 games anyway.

I'm just curious as to whether or not these things are already in the game and I just need to wait them to happen or if this is something the OOTP crew should consider for future versions. I also get that there might be some challenges in coding/programming these things, but I've been blown away by what the team has managed to pack into the game already, so I doubt it is impossible.
