Nathaniel Stoltz over at Fansided's Call to the Pen broke down the non-roster invitees for the Athletics earlier in the week.
Basically, a non-roster invitee is a player who is not on the 40 man roster, but who will be working with the Major League club at the start of Spring Training. Usually, the team will invite players that they'd like to try out for potential Major League spots, as well as rewarding minor leaguers potentially.
The only really true prospects that received invites were each of the last 2 first round draft picks, Michael Choice and Grant Green. There's some other players on the list who are interesting, but nobody that's really likely to make a huge impact on the make up of the Major League roster. You've got some former prospects in Andy LaRoche and Fernando Cabrera, but I imagine that a majority of the players invited will end up either in AAA, or even possibly released at the end of Spring Training.
