[Diezwraths]

In Janesville Onyx's rookie OL season, and first in Bronze, results have pretty much gone as expected. Expectations were for around .500 ball, potentially a tad above if the luck went their way. Sitting at .460, improvements are needed and they were anticipated.

The rest of this season has been deemed as a trial and training for the most part. Relegation not a concern at the moment.

A defense first team during Iron infancy, this resulted in quick acceleration without much research. Late in Iron season, the batting stats looked abysmal in advance for what was assumed to be a promotion. A few additions were made to make the roster compliant, and the replacements have been a mixed bag. Pitching has been tougher than expected, even with the expectation that a few players would struggle.

Main items to sort out - All pitching frankly, corner OFs (multiple of the same type of player, poor platoon matching), and DH.

DH was a surprise as 82 H. Johnson looked the part in Iron and from ratings, Bronze has been tough sledding for him with a .212 avg and .297 OBP. Extreme pull and low avoid k appear to be the culprit, despite being a flyball hitter.

Surprises:
D. Donovan, 77, P
C. Singleton, 74, OF
T. Moore, 79, OF

Disappointments:
H. Johnson, 82, 3B (DH)
P. Quantrill, 73, RP
Attempted LF converts (79 Guererro, 79 Oliva)
