What RchW said. That is a rating of how good he is at fielding his position (responding to bunts, fielding drives back at him, how well he'll move to first base if the 1B is called upon to stop a ball, etc).

I'm struggling to link that to things in reality. What would it mean to have great Stuff, Control and Movement with a good variety of pitches but have low Pitcher rating?

The guy can pitch, but he's a poor defender.

And in a less abstract sense, what would you go for? A guy with a good Pitcher rating but less good S/M/C/pitches ratings? Or a guy with great S/M/C but a Pitcher rating in the 40s/50s (1-100)?

S/M/C always. In fact, i don't really pay any attention to Pitcher rating, unless i have two equally good pitchers i want to sign. Even then, i'd usually go with the cheapest
