Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT ---The 2010 Vermont Lake Monsters coaching staff will have a familiar look as manager Jeff Garber and hitting coach Paul Sanagorski both return for their second season with the New York-Penn League team, the Washington Nationals announced today with the release of their minor league coordinators and field staffs.

Garber led the 2009 Lake Monsters to a 33-41 record in his first season as manager in Vermont. The 12th Lake Monsters manager in the team's 17 seasons, Garber will also be the fifth to manage more than one year at Vermont. It will also be his third year with the Nationals organization after serving as the Field Coordinator for the Washington Minor League system in 2008.

Sanagorski returns for his second straight season as hitting coach for the Lake Monsters, while Franklin Bravo will be Vermont's pitching coach in 2010. Bravo is another familiar face returning to the Lake Monsters, having been Vermont's pitching coach back in 2004. Bravo was also slated to be the Lake Monsters pitching coach in 2009 before being reassigned to Single-A Hagerstown shortly before the season started.

2009 Lake Monsters pitching coach Joel Sanchez will hold that position with the Gulf Coast League Nationals in 2010, while 2005 Vermont manager Bobby Williams will be the GCL Nationals Manager. Williams had spent the past three seasons as Washington's Player Development Director.

The Lake Monsters 2010 season begins on Friday, June 18th when Vermont hosts the Lowell Spinners at historic Centennial Field.
