Brett Sinkbeil, a  right handed starter for the North Shore Honu in 2007, has been invited to participate in Florida's Spring Training, according to a report today on mlb.com by Joe Frisaro.

While the move does not guarantee the 23-year-old a spot on the Marlins' roster, it proves that the club is high on the prospect who  compiled a 6-4 record at High-A Jupiter last season  to go along with a 3.42 ERA. As a member of North Shore's dominant starting rotation, Sinkbeil finished the campaign with a 3-1 mark through seven starts in which he notched a 1.64 ERA and 24 strikeouts through 33 innings.

Sinkbeil was selected by the Marlins as the 19th overall pick in the 2006 draft. The Tulsa, OK native attended Missouri State University and is rated the No. 2 prospect in the Marlins organization by Baseball America.

Stay tuned as more players receive invites/promotions, and if you hear of any former HWB player(s) in the news, please pitch me an email: kyle@hawaiiwinterbaseball.com.
