Marty Luire on Wash/Ginter

I find this very encouraging. I have complete faith in Wash's ability and at least if Ginter is horrible Wash will tell Macha to keep him out of the field.

From Marty Lurie's website (http://www.loveofthegameproductions.com):
When baseball fans hear names such as Johnny Sain, Walt Hriniak, Charlie Lau, and Leo Mazzone they immediately recognize some of the most successful major league coaches in baseball history, men who have shaped the careers of numerous hall of famers.

Add A's infield coach Ron Washington to the above list.

Washington supervises voluntary 8 30 AM spring training workouts for any A's infielder self motivated to improve his game. Past results with Miguel Tejada, Eric Chavez, Mark Ellis, and even Jason Giambi speak for themselves.

It took some shaky infield play this spring from new A's second baseman Keith Ginter to make the former Brewer realize he needed Washington's help. After three weeks of trying to shake the "rattle" from his glove on his own, Ginter has seen the light and now is enrolled in the early morning workouts.

Ginter will be a long term project
Wash does wonders with naturally talented guys like Chavez, Tejada, Ellis who have great range and quickness.  From the look of Ginter this Spring, Wash will have to be a miracle worker.

If he can...
If he can turn Hatty into the pickin machine then hopefully he can turn Ginter into a serviceable 2B.
