Sierra was claimed off the Rockies 40 man roster. He was originally signed as an undrafted FA from the Dominican Republic by the A's in 1999. So far in 3 appearances for the Barons he has a 11.57 ERA with 3BB's and 2K's. For the Yanks he had a 3.28 ERA in AA ball in 33 games pitched.

 

Basically he has awful control right now, and his only dominating pitch is his fastball which he throws in the mid 90's. He also has a splitter and a slider. He had 212BB's in 387.2IP before the start of this season.

 

In his last outing on May 8, Sierra grazed Matt Kemp of the 2nd of 2 inside pitchers in the infamous game that was called early. He got tossed for that.

Sierra finally had a damn good outing tonight.

 

2IP, 1H and 6K's. ERA is at 5.40 now from 8.1IP for the Barons.

 

Maybe he's finally turned the corner.

We know he has the "stuff"

Ok so maybe he hadn't turned the corner.

 

He's 2-1 with a 5.65 ERA and has a 40/30 K/BB ratio in 43IP. Only 1HR given up in 31G so far this season though so that's a positive I guess.
