For starters, I'd really like to see separate command/control ratings for specific pitches in addition to Stuff, and total those up to come up with an overall Control rating instead of the way it's done now. Those might also vary from game to game - say, your curveball that you normally have command of isn't hitting the zone today so your control is lousy (as a stretch goal it would be cool to see pitchers/managers elect not to use pitches in-game when they find they can't control them, kind of the way pitchers tend to only use their top 2-3 pitches when going in relief but more dynamic; like in-game a guy might not realize his curve is not hitting the zone until he throws it a few times).

I think this is a fabulous recommendation, and would add stamina and injury prone ratings to the pitches themselves. A top speed fireballer will tire more with that pitch than a changeup. A curveball is more prone to injury than a knuckleball as well.
