Biography
High school career
Sarfate graduated from Gilbert High School in Arizona. He was an All-American and First Team All-State. He was Pitcher of the Year in 1999.
MLB career
He was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Houston Astros on September 11, 2007, for cash considerations. On December 12, 2007, Sarfate was traded by the Houston Astros along with Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers and Troy Patton, and third baseman Michael Costanzo to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for shortstop Miguel Tejada.
After beginning his professional career as a starter, Sarfate spent 2007 and began 2008 as a relief pitcher, but on July 28, 2008, he was moved to the Orioles starting rotation.[1] He returned to the bullpen after just 4 starts, in which he went 0-2 while allowing 18 runs in just 15 2/3 innings.
Sarfate began 2009 in the Orioles Bullpen, but was sent to AAA Norfolk in May after posting a 6.49 ERA in 8 appearances. He was called up again in September, and pitched much better, posting a 3.48 ERA over 12 relief appearances.
In 2010, Sarfate began at AAA Norfolk, where he pitched 3 innings before getting injured.
