The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers had a decent season. They were certainly better than what the standings showed. They started off slow, going just 31-38 in the first half of the season. However, the Milwaukee Brewers Class-A affiliate turned things up in the second half, going 37-33 after the All-Star break. They would’ve been in the upper half of the standings had they been in the opposite division, but the Timber Rattlers were stuck in a distant seventh place overall in the Midwest League Western division.
Even with the disappointing showing in the standings, there were plenty of very exciting players to come through Appleton this season.
