Matt Ginter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew Shane Ginter, (born December 24, 1977), is a righthanded starting/relief baseball pitcher. He started the 2005 season with the Detroit Tigers, but on June 22, 2005 the Tigers outrighted his contract to their Triple-A affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens. He was recalled again, but sent back down on October 10, 2005, along with four other players. They all refused the assignment and became free agents. He was signed by the Boston Red Sox to a minor league contract, and started 2006 pitching for the Pawtucket Red Sox. He had a strong start to the season, notably pitching 8 innings of 2-hit shutout baseball on April 23, and lowering his season ERA to 2.35 and his K/BB rate to 7. He was a strong candidate to be called up to the Boston Red Sox to join the starting rotation, temporarily, while LHP David Wells recovers from a knee injury.
Ginter exercised an out clause in his contract after going 3-9 in Pawtucket and not being called up before July 1.
