I've read the manual and some of the posts around here so I have an idea on what each stat controls...

But I can't figure out what it is I should be looking for as I try to build a team.

If I look at my league's top pitchers by WAR, I have guys with high stuff, low control... But also guys with high control and low stuff... The #3 pitcher is 50/50/45... I see a pitcher with 3 75/75 pitches... But above him in the rankings is a player with a 60 FB, 55 curve, and 55 change...

The #1 pitcher is an overall 70... But the next 3 below him are 50's...

What do you guys look for in a pitcher?
I don't use WAR to evaluate Pitchers. I use FIP-, ERA+ and WPA.
I will use WAR to evaluate a non pitcher.
