It might help to look at the distribution of ratings. OOTP includes 446 pitchers on the opening day list of Major League players (including those on what troglodytes like me still call the "disabled list"). Their ratings break down as follows:

Stuff*: 70+ 57; 65+ 105; 60+ 181; 55+ 252; 50+ 348
Movement: 70+ 19; 65+ 40; 60+ 88; 55+ 155; 50+ 268
Control: 70+ 17; 65+ 47; 60+ 111; 55+ 173; 50+ 279

* Stuff depends in part on whether the pitcher is set to SP or RP. I haven't tried to account for that factor.

In my anecdotal experience, the value of high Movement and Control ratings falls off fairly swiftly. A pitcher with 60 control won't be fabulously more successful than one with 40. OTOH, 60 Stuff is a lot better than 50 Stuff. But those are impressions, not the results of data crunching.
