Chien-Ming Wang is one of the most popular cards on the AH right now, and he has a mere 30 Stuff. The year of the card he had 3.1 K/9. Meanwhile power-pitching king Randy Johnson had a career K/9 of 10.6. So you could base the scale around something like that.
Obviously you'd have to adjust for era and for position players not being able to come in and throw 3.0 K/9 with the lowest Stuff rating. But currently there's too many cards clustered around 128 Stuff.

Wang is only popular because he's the only silver card for an achievement that gets you a high gold lefty reliever. Not because people are actually playing him on their team. And even then he's still way overpriced, since he sells for 10k per.
Which kinda makes me mad, since he's also the only one I'm missing for that achievement. =/
