My question is does OOTP have a stat that measures how a RP performs? ERA is not good, as it doesn't charge the pitcher for inherited runners scored...is there a stat like IR-A, or SIERA?

I have been using SIERA and it seems to correlate pretty well with overall performance as far as I can see. Small sample sizes of IP is a perennial issue I suppose with RP evaluation so I tend to look at the last year as well or even further back. I read somewhere that SIERA scores for RP assessment are slightly different (lower) to SP. Here's the scale I use for RPs (sorry cannot remember the source):
2.5 elite
2.85 v good
3.35 above average
3.5 normal
3.8 below average
4.1 poor
4.6 v poor
