Darren Bragg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darren Bragg born September 7, 1969 in Waterbury, Connecticut is a former Major League baseball outfielder who played 11 seasons in MLB. He played for the Seattle Mariners (1994-1996), Boston Red Sox (1996-1999), St. Louis Cardinals, (1999), Colorado Rockies (2000), New York Mets (2001), New York Yankees (2001), Atlanta Braves (2002-2003), San Diego Padres (2004), and his final team the Cincinnati Reds (2004).

In his career, he hit .255 with 46 home runs, 260 RBIs, and 56 stolen bases.

He is noted as the player traded by the Seattle Mariners for Jamie Moyer, who immediately excelled in his new environment. During the second half of 1996, Bragg started for the Red Sox for the remainder of the year in center field, taking over for the failed experiment of Lee Tinsley. He started almost every day for the Red Sox throughout 1997, despite the previous winter's signing of Shane Mack. The following year, he fell into a platoon arrangement with Darren Lewis and Damon Buford between right and center. He was subsequently released by the Red Sox and bounced around for several years following, receiving the most time with the St. Louis Cardinals.

On Friday, November 3rd, the Dayton Dragons, the A Ball affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds named Bragg the team's hitting coach for the 2007 season. This is Bragg's first coaching experience.
