Former Tacoma Rainiers manager Dave Brundage, who was fired by the Seattle Mariners last month, was hired to be the Atlanta Braves' manager at Triple-A Richmond.
Brundage, 42, becomes the 26th manager in Richmond’s franchise history. Brundage spent 12 seasons in the Seattle Mariners player development system, nine as a manager. His overall minor league managerial record is 653-605 (.519).
Brundage spent one season managing the Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League. The Rainers were 74-70 in 2006, finishing second in their division.
Brundage came to Tacoma following a very successful tenure at Double-A San Antonio. In five seasons at San Antonio he guided the Missions to the playoffs four times and won back-to-back Texas League championships in 2002 and 2003. In 2003, Brundage was named the Texas League Manager of the Year and Minor League Manager of the Year by Baseball America. The Missions sported the second-highest winning (88-51, .633) percentage in all of minor league baseball in 2003, highlighted by an 18-game winning streak, the longest in the minors that season.
