How important do you guys find the "stuff" rating to be for pitchers? I feel like in my experience it is by far the most important, but I wonder to what degree. For example, I just opened a multi-draft and got 9-8-7 McGee and 9-4-8 Giles. Currently, my set up man is 5-3-9 Jepsen who is only 4 star, the other two are 4.5. However, Jepsen has been doing well and I feel like his 9 stuff rating might make up for his other lower ratings. Who would you put as your set up man of those 3? How much arm and control ratings are equal to 1 stuff rating? For example, would you keep a pitcher who had 1 higher stuff over another who had 2 higher arm? 3 higher arm? Just trying to get an idea of what other people think.

If you play against other users then Inthink Jepsen will do slightly better given his volocity of his pitches. If you play more events you want people with the highest rating of "stuff"
Velocity is how fast he is going to throw the ball. Control is how many pitche will be over the plate for strikes. Stuff is how good his pitches are! Higher stuff=Usally lower ERA and BA against.
Star Rating is somewhat over rated. It is mostly directly related to a persons total stats make-up. But not 100%. 5+3+9=18, 9+8+7=24.
Long term none are going to be truly solid options! The further you progress, the more your going to encounter teams with more and more Prime hitters. The game is much more friendly to hitters than it is to hitters.
