Keith Ginter Quotations

I would think (general manager Billy Beane) doesn't want to pay someone $1 million to play at Triple-A, but my wife and I talked for about two days about it and we couldn't leave that money on the table. I have to provide for my family. The way I view it, it puts pressure on them -- if they don't want to pay me $1 million, maybe they can pick up part of it and move me somewhere else.

Mark called me this morning and said, 'I'm sick, get ready to play,' ... He's definitely the wrong guy; we do not need to lose him. I've just got to do my best and hope I don't hurt the team defensively.

It just proved to me I'm not going to play, flat-out. I'm here in case three guys get hurt.

That's completely up to Billy (Beane, the A's GM). But if they bring Mark (Ellis) and Marco back, do I see me here? No.

He's improved my game quite a bit. Especially doing the little things. I've never been around a coach like Wash, he's unique in the big leagues because he's still teaching. I'm going to take what I've learned from him wherever I go.
