I think (in OOTP) a good place to start is shutdowns...from there, I would say I like IR-S%. To me, a decent score here is 30 % or lower. Any higher, and you have a RP that may not have a high ERA (worthless for RP) but it shows he just can't putout fires. I have always like roundball pitchers since I play in Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park) but I am beginning to think power type pitchers are the way to go. They are basically strikeout artists and rarely allow runners to advance due to this, and simply help you out of bad situations. I realize you aren't likely to find many roundball power pitchers (if any) but if they can't make contact, they can't drive in runs with traffic on the bases. Obviously movement is equally important as stuff with pitchers like this.
