A player's health determines how many games they can play per season. Health doesn't have any way to increase, like other ratings. It can only decrease. I don't think it should be random, you should get what you pay for. Health doesn't directly affect the player's performance like +1 predicted click can. All health can do is make it more likely for the player to play in more games and even that might not make it happen.
I'd say a set +3 health for $5M is good. For the extra 3 health points a positional player is probably getting 2-3 more games and for a pitcher, that might mean 1 more start or a couple appearances out of the pen. We could cap it at 75 and not allow prorating, meaning if you have a guy at 73 health and want to send him for a health upgrade it'll still cost the full $5M. Additionally sending a guy for health upgrades could mean that he can't be sent for winterball work.
The reasons for 75 being the cap is because 75 is average on Mogul's terms and that means about 145 games for positional players. What it exactly is for pitchers I'm not sure, but the point is 75 health gets all players a solid amount of playing time if they remain injury-free.
