Overall I would say no and haven't used Sierra again. Despite the doubles and decent .oba his runs scored and rbis were disappointing. I thought batting him 2nd behind Shin-Choo against RHP would result in a ton of rbi doubles. At $3.18M it's a tough call to use him. Against a HR friendly ballpark with a lefty starter sometimes I used Hairston at DH -very happy with him at .50
I also found Shin-Choo to be overpriced. Too many holes in his game to justify paying that (unless you're in a mega payroll league and can afford to platoon him)
Here's the team so you can judge for yourself. Given the team record I might be too harsh on those guys, but many of my lower price guys produced.
