RTTS- how do you build your pitcher??

Started a RTTS as a starting pitcher.
Within a few weeks in AA I bumped up to a middle relief guy in AAA, then worked my way up to the rotation. I have recently been added to the 40 man roster, but still in AAA.
I have a solid era and have been doing pretty good. Been dumping all my points in my pitches. I got my fastball velocity, movement and control at 99. Now working on building up my curve.
I'm giving up 5-6 hits per 6 innings, and some games striking out a bunch and some hardly any.
What do you guys build up first?

If he's a dominant pitch type, I tend to max out that dominant pitch's control first. If its my SP, I go for Stam next. For my CP I max pitching cluth and H and stay on a 3 pitch set up until Im roughly over the 75-80 level in all of my categories.
Just recently started a new knuckleballer. Trying to see how well I can do with a pitcher who'll end up with 5 pitches, all big diving curves and knuckleballs, and absolutely no fastball at all.

I have a knuckleballer as well with mainly a nice slow curve to go with it. my 85 mph fastball is nice to catch batters off guard with because everything else is so slow.

I left the fastball out on purpose. I want to see how good (or horribly bad) he'll end up with nothing in his arsenal that goes over 78 MPH rofl. Velocity on all of my pitches are still at the default 30-40 rating that they were at when i created the pitcher.
So far its been intersting. Throwing knuckle balls and knuckle curves and using the screwball as my "go to" pitch if Im ahead in the count.

My guy is set up as a dominant pitch. I haven't been in a rush to build up anything else besides my pitches, because I'm not getting hammered on anything.
I have given up 1 HR. Average less than a hit an inning and strike out 5-6 per game with only 2 walks so far.
I'm going to build stamina soon, but I'm usually good going 6-7. I have one complete game shut out, but I was going on 0 energy the last two innings.

Update on my pitcher.
-Drafted by Rangers.
-Starting pitcher for AA team. Got bumped to AAA in less than a month coming out of the pen. Spent a few weeks coming out the bullpen and then headed to the starting rotation.
- Starting pitcher for USA/World futures game. Went 2 scoreless, giving up one hit. Came in relief for the AAA All-Star game.
- Got traded to the Reds (didn't ask for a trade) about 2 weeks after the all-star break and went into their AAA starting rotation. Made 2 starts and then got moved up to the majors.
- Have my fastball velocity, movement and control all maxed out at 99. Curveball is also nearly all maxed at 99. Some work on my changeup is coming next.
- I am the highest rated reliever (except for the closer) on the Reds roster. Kind of sucks coming in for relief in the NL because I get an inning or two max and then get pulled whenever I come up to bat. I am getting smashed around pretty good though. 2-0 record, but my ERA is horrible. I'm going to have to start putting a lot of work into my K/0, H/9 and HR/9 to be able to hack it. Reds don't have the best rotation though, so I'm hoping to crack the rotation by year 2. I'm in a battle for the division with the Cards and have a nice lead for a WC spot with 1 1/2 months to go. Kind of sucks that I can contribute so little to winning the games right now though.
