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

I've had players very similar to him, strong ratings across the board, two strong pitches and one weak pitch. Most have had very successful careers as starters, some even made it to the HOF.
