As someone that has just started to play the game on a regular basis, I use the ratings without the stars. You can go down to the field and can see first hand if the guy has a plus fastball or a 12 to 6 curve or, if you've watched Roy Halladay as of late, you'll see that he no longer has a fastball and no movement on most of his pitches (unfortunately for Phillies fans).
