In my experience, that guy should make an adequate starter. From what I've seen the thresh hold for stamina is 3 on a 1-10 scale, or 6 on a 1-20 scale...that will usually get the guy into the 5th,6th or even into the 7th inning on a good day.
A SP needs 3 Pitches, if one of those pitches is weak, the other two would need to be strong but not over powering.

Pitchers who are successful as a SP with 2 pitches usually have a very high stuff/movement/control.....with 2 very good to great pitches so on a 10 point scale a guy with 8s/8m/8c and Pitches of 8/8 are candidates for possible starting roles The higher the better...and the rule of thumb for stamina still applies but more is always better whether it is stamina, ratings or quality of pitches
