I already posted this yesterday but somehow the contents of my thread disappeared.

It's there, it's just in the moderation queue because something in your post set off the anti-spam system. I'm not sure why that one did and this one didn't since you included the same link, unless it was the bolded text or something in the other.
Since this one went through I'll just delete the other one.

Oh, what does this "Stuff" rating?

I'll let the game manual handle this one.

Stuff is a measure of the quality of a pitcher's pitch repertoire. Think of it as essentially how a pitcher "puts it all together." Stuff directly affects the number of strikeouts a pitcher throws. Stuff is calculated based on a combination of his individual pitch ratings and the velocity with which he throws.
Relief pitchers receive a small bonus to stuff, to reflect the fact that batters get fewer looks at their pitches and have less of a chance to adjust to them. OOTP displays that bonus in the form of increased Stuff ratings. This bonus is heavily tied into the strength of a reliever's top two pitches, since relievers have much less incentive to mix in their weaker offerings. This means that a pitcher with a strong fastball, a strong slider, and a weak changeup might make for an average starting pitcher but a great reliever. You get to decide how he provides the most useful fit for your team. You can see the change in a pitcher's Stuff rating if you change the player's position from SP to MR and back.
