A former first-round pick, Sinkbeil was converted to a full-time reliever in 2010 after disappointing as a starter. He did strike out nearly a batter per inning at Triple-A and could get picked in the Rule 5 draft on his name alone, but he's not ready to contribute at the major league level. | ||||||

Sinkbeil was called up to the big leagues in September of this season but didn't exactly deserve the promotion. He finished 2010 with an ugly 5.71 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 63 innings of relief at Triple-A. | ||||||

Marlins recalled RHP Brett Sinkbeil from Triple-A New Orleans. | ||||||
The 26-year-old Sinkbeil was drafted in the first round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. He was a disappointment as a starter at the lower stages of the Marlins' farm system and has posted an ugly 5.71 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 63 innings of relief this season in New Orleans. He will be a mop-up man. | ||||||
