Sauerbeck was selected by the New York Mets in the 23rd round of the 1994 draft. After Pittsburgh had spent time in the New York farm system, he collected the Miami University (Ohio) product in 1998 as part of the design of rule 5 as part of the draft of rule 5.
In the 1999 season he made his debut for the Big League for the pirates. During his five-year stay in the city of Steel, he presented 308.2 Innings of 3.56. In 2002 he appeared in a franchise record of 78 games and ended with an ERA of 2.30.
Sauerbeck was traded in Boston the following year … and would miss the entire 2004 season after surgery to repair a torn Labrum and a rotator cuff in his left shoulder.
Later he performed between 2005 and 2006 both for Cleveland and Oakland … before he ultimately called it a career in 2008. He ended with a record of 20 to 17 and 3.82 ERA on the hill.
Quiet in peace
