One issue with OOTP is that a pitcher with this repertoire would get POUNDED if they went more than 5 innings. There is a difference between a pitcher with a plus sinker and a plus curveball.

A pitcher with a '10' curveball and a '10' fastball would likely succeed in a starting role (see Erik Bedard), but a pitcher with a '10' sinker and '10' fastball would get crushed by opposite-handed hitters.
