2022 Coca Cola Kids Fantasy Baseball update: It isn't pretty

Let's just say, there is no joy in Cola-ville this season for the Coca-Cola Kids baseball club could never
get it together.  The playoffs have begun and, well, the Kids didn't make it.  They will head to the consolation bracket, so maybe they can finish at the top of that.  They finished the regular season in last place in their division and 8th out of 10 in the league. 

Individually, several players have had nice seasons, but no one seems to have been willing to carry the team. Here is the current roster of the Coca Cola Kids: 

C:  Sean Murphy, Oakland A's

1B:  Nathaniel Lowe, Texas Rangers

2B:  Christopher Morel, Chicago Cubs

3B: Ezequiel Duran, Texas Rangers

SS: Eugenio Suarez, Seattle Mariners

OF1: Aledmys Diaz, Houston Astros

OF2: Brian Reynolds, Pittsburg Pirates

OF3: Cedric Mullins, Baltimore Orioles

Utlility:  Shohei Ohtani, Los Angels Angels

SP:  Lucas Giolito, Chicago White Sox 

SP: Yu Darvish, San Diego Padres

SP: Triston McKenzie, Cleveland Guardians

SP: Marcus Stroman, Chicago Cubs

RP: Gregory Soto, Detroit Tigers

RP: Erik Swanson, Seattle Mariners

P:  Jason Adam, Tampa Bay Rays 

P:  Jordan Montgomery, St. Louis Cardinals

Bench: Jonathan India, Cincinnati Reds, 2B; Chris Taylor, Los Angeles Dodgers, 2B, 3B, SS, OF; Wilmer Flores, San Francisco Giants, 1B, 2B, 3B; Riley Green, Detroit Tigers, OF; Miles Mikolas, St. Louis Cardinals, SP. 

In some cases, the Kids have been attempting to pick up youth for next year in the case of Morel, Duran, and McKenzie.  In other cases, the Kids have picked up some veterans hoping for a resurgence in numbers like Suarez, Soto, and Darvish.   Nonetheless, it has been a rough year for the Kids.  We will report back in at the end of the playoffs with a final report.
