CLAUDE: Make -6 and -5 arm ratings exceptionally rare

User requirement: Only 1 player with -6 arm, no more than 3 with -5 arm

2005 tz_runs_total data analysis:
- 23: Jim Edmonds (1 player)
- 21: Carl Crawford (1 player)
- 19: Coco Crisp, Brady Clark, Andruw Jones (3 players)
- 18: Cliff Floyd
- 17: Jason Michaels, Ichiro Suzuki (2 players)

Updated thresholds:
- > 22: -6 arm (Jim Edmonds only)
- > 19: -5 arm (Carl Crawford only, satisfies 'no more than 3')
- > 16: -4 arm (the three 19s plus 18s and 17s)
- Graduated scale for remaining tiers

Result: Elite arm ratings are now truly exceptional and rare
