Can I Revisit the HBP Tendency?

Haven't searched yet. Slap me. Besides, 6.5's out, maybe something changed, but it doesn't look like it. I remember some discussion about the unusual frequency of HBP occurence. I just finished a game where between two pitchers I nailed them 5 times. The first pitcher was rated 9 in 550 BF, he faced 26 and clipped 4. The other was rated, I think, 3 in 550, and faced 3.

Checked a few of the other pitchers on a couple of teams and ran across more than I thought I would of 19's and 11's in 550 BF. I'm slowing down now to do the math now, Spleen's watching me , if that is an expected number of incidents over 550 does 3-5% seem high? How has this been successfully reduced in the past? Simple editing? Or through League Totals?

Thanks in advance.
