The Coca Cola Kids "B Team" ballclub has had a nice start to the season after six weeks with 10 wins above losses (54-44-10). The ballclub is solid all around, but some holes have appeared. The kids are having a hard time filling the third base position. Willi Castro is just not doing the heavy lifting management thought he would do. They picked up Noelvi Marte who is off to a solid start for the Reds with decent numbers across the board, but he is currently sitting on the IL. Castro is back in while the Kids continue to look for a way to fill the 3B hole.
The Kids pitching staff is solid up and down the bullpen, but the good weeks are good, and the bad weeks are bad; there isn't much in between. The starting staff all have ERA's below a 4.00 with the high ERA at 3.97 and the low at 2.72. Relief pitching has been fair. Management is looking for one more reliver to add to the team for holds. One spot that hurts is the Kids lost a top starter to injury as Shota Imanaga went to the IL.
