Stat of the DAY: SIERA.

Go go go. (Explanation please :D)
Urgh... there is a thread somewhere here where I went into detail about it.  Marquis and I had an animated discussion.  Maybe the Stats thread?

SIERA is like FIP but a slightly better predictor, especially of extreme pitchers.  For example, it nails guys like Clippard and Hudson a lot better than traditional metrics do.
