The MLB season is flying by as we approach mid-season in a few weeks. This is a good time to revisit Coca-Cola Kids A Team and look at mid-season leaders and MVPs of the first half.

Team Leaders after 14 Weeks:

Runs: 43 - Ketel Marte / Julio Rodriguez / Kazuma Okamoto

1B: 57 - Jonathan Aranda

2B: 24 - Rafael Devers

3B: 2 - tie Dillon Dingler / Ketel Marte / Sam Antonacci

K: 110 - Jesus Luzardo

HLD: 12 - Robert Suarez

SP ERA: 2.83 - Ranger Suarez

RP ERA: 0.56 - Robert Suarez

QS: 10 - tie Logan Webb / Michael McGreevy

This Kids team just hasn’t measured up in the first half of the season. Lots of solid players with solid fantasy stats, but no superstars have risen to lead this team to regular wins. One first half MVP is catcher Dillon Dingler. In a season where the Kids were counting on last season’s MVP Cal Raleigh to lead the team, Dingler has stepped up when Raleigh struggled to start the season and ended up on the IR.

On the pitching side, there are lots of average seasons in play, but Jesus Luzardo has lived up to expectations and led this team in four pitching categories.

The Kids are out of contention and have already made three trades to make the team respectable by adding categories they have struggled with like stolen bases. Expect more trades as the deadline approaches. Kids management looks to pick up a variety of rookies or young players after the deadline.

SP WHIP: 0.92 - Cam Schlittler

RP WHIP: 0.84 - Robert Suarez

QS: 12 - tie Michael Wacha / Sandy Alcantara

The Kids are sporting three mid-season most valuable players. Cam Schlittler on the mound has sported incredible control of the plate leading the team in wins, strikeouts, earned run average, and WHIP. Hunter Goodman has brought the power to the Coca-Cola Kids this season not unlike his counterpart from the 2025 season Cal Raleigh. The big surprise of the season for the Kids is the Detroit Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle who is leading the team in 3 offensive categories.

The Kids do miss having Ronald Acuna Jr. who is on the IR.

Fantasy Basketball: Rough Season for the Flat Soda Bombers

It wasn’t a complete disaster for the Flat Soda Bombers, but we could say that the Bombers did just that; they bombed.

Full disclosure, the team manager hasn’t ever managed a fantasy basketball team, and he hasn’t followed the National Basketball League since the Michael Jordan days.

The Kids took 6th place in the league while their star, first-round pick Giannis Antetokounmpo spent most of the season on the injured list. Not to make excuses for the Bombers, but some may argue there weren’t any other NBA stars on the team. It was a team of really good middle-grade players. You can be the judge.

Here is the final roster for the Flat Soda Bombers:

Starting Line-up:

PG: CJ McCollum, Atlanta Hawks

SG: Kevin Porter Jr. Milwaukee Bucks

G: De’Aaron Fox, San Antonio Spurs

SF: Zion Williamson New Orleans Pelicans

PF: Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks

F: Kel’el Ware, Miami Heat

C: Jaylin Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder

C: Kristaps Porzingis, Golden State Warriors

Util: Saddiq Bey, New Orleans Pelicans

Util: Coby White, Charlotte Hornets

Bench:

SG/SF: Devin Vassell, San Antonio Spurs

Fantasy Baseball is Back: Introducing the 2026 Coca-Cola Kids A-Team (Updated 6/28/26)

I always look forward to the baseball season to watch my Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers make a run for the World Series. I’ve been a fan of the Cubs since I was a tiny little child, and I have been a fan of the Tigers since 1984.

In 1988, I found a new reason to love the game, Fantasy Baseball. I have played on some iteration of fantasy baseball every year since the paper and pencil years, checking statistics in the USA Today every Tuesday to score, to my first online baseball league on Sandbox? or something like that. Now I play in two leagues, hence the A-team and B-team, and this is the 25th year I have had the Coca-Cola Kids A-Team in the League of the Gorgeous Rogues. At fifteen weeks, I will create a new post offering my thoughts on the team as we enter the summer months. Until then, I will update this post with weekly match-up results and any roster changes that I make.

Week 1: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Brutes FBC 2-15 “Kids off to a Bad Start…Horrible, Actually” (4th Division, 9th League)

Week 2: Coca-Cola Kids (2-15-3) vs. BrownTown (3-15-2) 5-11 “Things Couldn’t Be Much Worse for the Kids: Looking for a Turnaround” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 3: Coca-Cola Kids (7-26-7) vs. Pacaya Chiltepes (17-17-6) 5-9 “Chiltepes Offense Too Much for the Kids” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 4: Coca-Cola Kids (12-35-13) vs. Affianced Buddhas (30-24-6) 3-12 “Kids Offense Anemic as it Fails to Score”

Week 5: Coca-Cola Kids (15-47-18) vs. Fried Chicken Bucket (37-36-7) 7-11 “

Week 6: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Fried Chicken Bucket 9-9 “Kids Power Creates a Draw with Fried Chicken” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 7: Coca-Cola Kids vs. ACEsymptomatic 3-17 “Kids Pitchers Miss Qualifying for Points by .1 Innings” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 8: Coca-Cola Kids vs. The Mecca of Red Necka 8-9 “Kid’s Hitting Shows Up to Almost Cause a Draw”

Week 9: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Oxford Publicans 6-12 “Kid’s Pitching Doesn’t show Up This Week: 1 Point”

Week 10: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Orange Drink 11-8 “Pitching Still Struggles but Hitting Lifts Kids”

Week 11: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Oxford Publicans 13-6 “Kids Redeem Themselves from Week 9”

Week 12: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Brutes FBC 7-10 “Kid’s Pitchers Fall Just Short of Getting Win”

Week 13: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Pacaya Chiltepes 6-13 “Chiltepes Dominate Kids Across the Scoring Board”

Week 14: Coca-Cola Kids (85-142-33) vs. Affianced Buddhas (149-85-26)  9-9  "Kids Split Even with 1st Place Buddhas"  

Hope springs eternal at this point of the season, so here are the members of the Coca-Cola Kids A-Team (updated 4/26/26).

The Kamino Clone Kids Played for 2025 League Champion: Fantasy Football Recap

It was a good season for the Kamino Clone Kids. Two weeks before the playoffs, the Kids were sitting in first place! They lost the final two games, but went on to play the Khofar Nights for the league championship. It was a bad week to have an average week. The Kids receivers, 3 of the top 5 receivers in the league this season, had pedestrian weeks and the Kamino Clone Kids fell 191.02 to 156.47.

The Kids received admirable play from QB Dak Prescott (33.25) and RB Chase Brown (31.60), but the trio of George Pickens, Amon St. Brown, and J. Smith-Njigba totaled 42.80 points, combined. Jaylen Warren, who scored 37.40 points the week before, came in with 7.32 points in the final game. Alas, this was a competitive league and the Kids was in the heat of it the entire season.

The league completed its sophomore season, and the Kamino Clone Kids have emerged as a team to contend with. In 2024 the Kids finished in third place and now, 2025, they ended in second place. While it would be nice to walk away with the big trophy, the front office is happy with the first two seasons’ results.

Kamino Clone Kids Final 2025 Roster:

QB: Dak Prescott, Dallas

RB: Chase Brown, Cincinnati

RB: Jaylen Warren, Pittsburg

WR: George Pickens, Dallas

WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit

TE: Jake Ferguson, Dallas

W/R/T: J. Smith-Njigba, Seattle

League Champion Crowned: No It Isn't The Coca Cola Kids Football Club

With the real NFL season heading to the Super Bowl, it is time to check on theFantasy Season for the Coca-Cola Kids Football Club. It didn’t go well.

Actually, the season ended well, but by the time the team leveled out, it was too late. Before the Kids hit a 5-game win streak to end the season and playoffs in 7th place, they were 3-9 in week 12. What was the difference? First, Joe Burrow returned in week 13. Second, the Kids running backs, Derek Henry and Kenneth Gainwell, started playing like the studs they are. Third, the Chargers’ defense was added to the team and made a solid contribution to the late-season scoring. Finally, Brock Bowers was placed on the IR, and rookie Colston Loveland found his groove with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

While 7th place in a league of 10 isn’t where the Kids would like to finish the season, the last five weeks of the season culminated in a 7th place match-up, where the Kids finished the season with a dominating win, 204.47 - 85.09, over the Rittz Boyz Blitz. In fact, no one in the championship week came close to scoring as many points as the Coca-Cola Kids that week. This is something to build on for next year, I suppose.

Fantasy Football: The Coca Cola Kids Football Club Playoffs

Fantasy Football Playoffs start this week.  The Coca Cola Kids Football Club finished the regular season on a three game win streak after Joe Burrow returned from the IL, but it wasn't enough to make the playoff bracket as the Kids ended with an 6-8 record finishing in 8th place in the We Are United Fantasy Football League.  So the Kids open the Consolation Quarterfinals with a Bye Week.  Not exactly how you want to start the playoffs after coming off of a three game win streak.  

Nevertheless, here is the playoff roster of the Coca Cola Kids:

Fantasy Football: Kamino Clone Kids Playoffs

The Fantasy Football Playoffs are here and the Clone Kids should be happy...but they aren't.  Two weeks ago, the Kids were flying high in first place of the division and the league.  After losing two straight weeks, they now sit in 2nd place in the Light Side Division and 4th in the league.  

Time to wrap the sore joints, tie up the pads, and strap on the helmets as we head into the first week of the playoffs against the 5th place team in the league and division foe, Pabu Porgs.  The Kids split the season with the Porgs winning one early and losing in Week 13.  It should be a good game for the first round of the playoffs, but the tension is high to prove the good season wasn't a fluke.  

Playoffs: 

Round 1: Clone Kids (8-6) vs. Pabu Porgs (8-6) 177.66 - 160.33 "Kids Top The Porgs with Receivers Going  Deep" 

Round 2: Clone Kids (9-6) vs. Naboo Gungans (10-5) 

The Kids bring three of the top 5 Wide Receivers in the NFL into the playoffs.  Here is the playoff roster for the Kamino Clone Kids: 

QB: Dak Prescott, Dallas

RB: Chase Brown, Cincinnati

RB: Jaylen Warren, Pittsburg

WR: George Pickens, Dallas

WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit

TE: Jake Ferguson, Dallas

Fantasy Football: Kamino Clone Kids Weeks 9-14 (updated 12/9/25)

Captain Rex by maharlika
Deviant Art 25

The Kamino Clone Kids have had a  surprisingly good first half of the season!  They have had some QB problems the last couple weeks as Baker Mayfield has been struggling to command the team.  Wide Receivers have been the commanders of the Kamino Clone Kids with George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and J. Smith-Nijgba leading the way.  Tight ends Tyler Warren (IND) and Jake Ferguson (DAL) have contributed well in the first 8 weeks as well.  Running backs Chase Brown (CIN) and Jaylen Warren (PIT) are holding their own.  

The front office picked up Trevor Lawrence to cover Mayfield's bye week, but they may stick with him if Mayfield doesn't right the ship.  Kids coaches also hope that Jonathon Cooper (DEN), Edgerrin Cooper (GB) and Budda Baker (ARI) can step it up to score extra points on defense.  

Week 9:  Kamino Clone Kids vs. Lothal Starbirds  175.70 - 127.65 "Kids Get Back to the Win Column" (2nd Light Side Div. 2nd in League)

Week 10: Kamino Clone Kids (6-3) vs. Pabu Porgs (4-5)  131.60 - 144.12  "Kids Disappointing Turnout versus the Porgs" 

Week 11:  Kamino Clone Kids (6-4) vs. Khofar Nights (6-4) 159.30 - 158.00  "Kids Survive the Night in Week 11" (1st Light Side Div. 1st in League)  

Week 12: Kamino Clone Kids (7-4) vs. Mustafar Moof (5-6) 232.90 - 137.39 "108 Points from WR Carries the Kids" 1st Light Side Div. 1st in League)

Week 13:  Kamino Clone Kids (8-4) vs. Naboo Gungans (7-5)  175.76 - 229.25 "Clones Routed by the Gungans"

Week 14: Kamino Clone Kids (8-5) vs. Crait Vulptex (4-9)

Fantasy Football: The Coca Cola Kids Football Club Weeks 9-14 (updated 12/9/25)

Let's just say, this isn't a season to remember.  Unless, you like to remember horrible starts to the season.  The Kids come into Week 9 2-6, 9th place in a ten team league.  There is no consistency this season, for example, Baker Mayfield is hitting a groove then in weeks 7 and 8 he completely collapses.  Oh, there is also the matter of losing top QB, Joe Burrow, after week 2 of the season.  Every position has been disappointing, wide receivers Sutton (Den) and Jennings (SF) have yet to show up, running backs Stevenson (NE) and Henry (Bal), tight end Bowers (LV) has been out for a few weeks.  Well, the record speaks for itself.  

Let's see if this team can turn it around in the second half of the season. 

Week 9: Coca Cola Kids vs. Crimson Queen  168.46 - 188.36 "Kids Misery Continues" 

Week 10: Coca Cola Kids (2-7-0) vs. Foot Wedge Mafia (7-2-0) 151.12 - 147.43 "Mayfield and LA Defense Carry the Kids to a Win" 

Week 11: Coca Cola Kids vs. Roll Tide  150.55 - 205.21 "Kids Can't Keep Up with the Tide"  (9th in League) 

Week 12: Coca Cola Kids (3-8-0) vs. Ritz Boyz Blitz (1-10-0)  137.14 - 130.03  "Solid Running Back Work Keeps Kids Ahead of the Blitz" (9th in League)

Week 13: Coca Cola Kids (4-8-0) vs. LukeIAmYourFather (5-7-0)  188.04 - 165.13  "Kids QB's Back to Full Health to win Week 13"  

Week 14: Coca Cola Kids (5-8-0) vs. Peoria Powells (6-7-0)  162.64 - 103.18 "Kids End Season on a Three Game Win Streak: Head to Consolation Bracket"

Fantasy Football: Kamino Clone Kids Weeks 1-8

Captain Rex by maharlika
Deviant Art 25

Just like in Fantasy Baseball, I can't help myself and just have one fantasy team.  I like to double my chances at maintaining middle-of-the-road teams that aren't terrible, but definitely aren't winners either.  

This is the second season of the Jedi Knights Fantasy Football League.  The Kamino Clone Kids actually fared well in the inaugural season with a record of 11-5 and finishing third in the league of 10 teams.  We wiped the slates clean except for choosing draft order, and started fresh with the 2025/2026 season teams.  

Be sure to check back here each week of the season for updates through Week 8 of the season. 

Week 1: Kamino Clone Kids vs. Pabu Porgs 141.45 - 175.70 

"Kids Get Steamrolled by Allen and Henry"

(5th Place Light Side Division)

Week 2: Kamino Clone Kids (0-1) vs. Khofar Nights (1-0)  189.60 - 174.05 

"Kids Lose Burrows in Win, but St. Brown Carries the Club to 1-1" 

(4th in Light Side Division)

Week 3: Kamino Clone Kids (1-1) vs. Mustafar Moof (1-1)  148.85 - 169.10

Coca Cola Kids "B Team" Baseball Club makes the Playoffs

Semifinal (lower bracket):

Coca Cola Kids vs. Trot's Cardinals  10-5 "Kids Move Past Trot's Cardinals to make it to the Fifth Place Finals Matchup with Gourmet by Gorman" 

Finals (5th Place Match-up)

Coca Cola Kids vs. Gourmet by Gorman  7-8 "Kids Can't Hold the Lead and Drop the Final Contest to Gourmet by Gorman"  

6th Place finish

The Coca Cola Kids "B Team" Baseball Club missed the top bracket of the playoffs with three games back.  It is disappointing as they spent the majority of the season in the top three spots of the league.  But, if you go back to the Week One opening back in April, you'd find that the Kids excel at mediocrity.  

If the Kids round out the bottom of the bracket with two wins and a fifth place finish, that is, well, right in the middle of this 10 team league.  Kinda feels, mediocre.  

Well, here is the line-up for the 2025 playoffs for the Coca Cola Kids "B Team" Baseball Club:

Fantasy Football: The Coca Cola Kids Football Club Weeks 1-8

Every year it kills me to have to think about football before the baseball season is even over.  Don't get me wrong, I love football, but baseball is king in my kingdom.  Nevertheless, we are two weeks into the season, so time to address the fantasy team and how the first two weeks have gone.

I went with a new strategy in drafting this year.  I did my best to take the top pick in each category available at the time I decided to draft.  Then, when it came to the bench, I went with as many top rated rookies at each level.  So far it hasn't really worked out for me as none of the rookies have come out hot, and my starters didn't carry the team with any big scorers the first week.  

We shall see how the season fleshes out.  I am hoping that some of the young players on the bench will get some opportunities and catch fire.  

Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club makes the Fantasy Playoffs

It was a season to remember for the Coca Cola Kids as they dominated the first half of the season.  Players that contributed to the historic first half are Cal Raleigh, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Josh Naylor, Katel Marte, Elly de la Cruz, Julio Rodriguez, Matthew Boyd, Jason Adams, Freddie Peralta and Shota Imanaga.  The Kids blew out teams week after week mid-July.  

July and August was a different story for the Kids.  As players like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Elly de la Cruz, and the starting pitching went cold and players like Spencer Torkelson, and Bryson Stott cooled off the Kids' dominance ended.  They lost the last six weeks of the regular season, and their first place in the league.  

Some roster changes heading into the playoffs include bringing in Blaze Alexander 3B (Arizona), Mike Yastrzemski OF (Kansas City), Zach Gelof 2B (Las Vegas), Will Vest RP (Detroit) to help fill or back up some spots that have shown weakness in the last several weeks.  

The Kids did manage to hold onto, by a thread, the second spot in the playoffs, earning a first week bye.  This post will update the results of the playoffs for the Kids, so stay tuned. 

Until then, here are the regular season leaders for the Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club:

B Team Weeks 13 - 18

B Team Weeks 7-12

B Team Weeks 1-6

As Week 19 begins, the Kids find themselves in a respectable 3rd place, which is the lowest they have found themselves this season.  Hitting has been up and down.  Power hasn't been a problem, but consistent singles and extra base hits have been lacking. Pitching has just been holding its own, but definitely needs to improve if the Kids are to be serious contenders in the playoffs.

Cal Raliegh continues to be the MVP of the year leading the team in home runs and runs batted in.  Kyle Schwarber could arguably be an MVP candidate as he leads the team in runs, walks and OPS.  From the mound, Jacob DeGrom definitely makes an impact, but our top pitcher is Bryan Woo from Seattle as he leads the team in innings pitched, WHIP and quality starts.     

Team Leaders after 18 Weeks:

Runs: 80 - Kyle Schwarber

1B:  92 - Steven Kwan

The Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club still sits in first place in the league, but the dominance is no longer the norm.  During the weeks 13-18 stretch, the Kids are 54-50.  Winning record?  Yes.  Winning enough?  No.  The rest of the league has advanced, and three teams are within 5 games back.  Cal Raliegh and Elly De La Cruz have continued to lead the team.  Pete Crow-Armstrong has gone stone-cold with the bat as Julio Rodriguez had heated up.  Overall, pitching has gone soft, especially the starters.  MacKenzie Gore has lost his touch as the hits and walks have skyrocketed and strikeouts have dropped.  Shota Imanaga has been the best pitcher in this stretch.  

Randy Arozarena has been the top pick-up in the last six weeks.  His solid play has helped to balance out some losses and dropping numbers in other areas.

B Team Weeks 7-12

B Team Weeks 1-6

Entering Week 13, the Kids are still in good shape, but they have bounced around the standings from 1st place to as low as 6th place in the league with inconsistent play.  Other teams in the league have discovered if they can continually slot starting pitchers in throughout the week, and pile on the innings, they can beat the Kids.  I don't play that game.  I post the best team I can without dropping and picking up pitchers because they start that day.  

Enough complaining, the Kids offense is keeping them competitive each week and the front office hopes the pitching staff can win categories not dependent on massive amounts of innings like era, wins, holds and quality starts.  The Kids have gotten really steady work from their top 3 starters Schwellenbach, DeGrom, Luzardo with Imanaga coming off the IL supposedly this week.  

At the plate, Raleigh is the team's MVP so far with Tucker, Suzuki and Schwarber close behind.  Those four are solidly supported with numbers from Pena, Betts, Olson, and Kwan.  Front office is really looking forward to some exciting play and speed on the bases from Caballero.

A Team Weeks 1-6

The Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club finds themselves in territory they haven't seen in quite some time, first place at the end of June.  The season has settled in and the blowouts have become more rare unlike the first six weeks.  At the end of twelve weeks, the season MVP is emerging to be Cal Raleigh with Pete Crow-Armstrong a close second.  The Kids manager is happy to see Marte return from the IL picking up where he left off, and the steady play of Josh Naylor.  Front office went to the waiver wire to get a couple reliable outfield bats as Crow-Armstrong and Rodriguez's bats have shown a steady cool down.  They picked up Adolis Garcia from the Rangers and Randy Arozarena from the Mariners.  Both got off to slow 

(starts this season, but have shown an uptick in stats recently.  

The starting pitchers have been steady.  The team is looking forward to having Shota Imanaga back, but relief pitching has been a struggle and revolving door all year.  The Kids are fine to target either saves or holds, but the relief staff is not accruing either.  Expect to see a relief pitching staff turn over in the next six weeks.

Fantasy Baseball: Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club Weeks 7-12

The Kids are off to a great start in 2025.  Even after a blowout loss in Week 6, they are still 21 wins over losses (63-42-15).  Two key players on the team are currently on the IL, SP Shota Imanaga and OF Teoscar Hernandez.  Both of these players have been key in the Coca Cola Kids hot start.  The Kids are also waiting for OF Garrett Mitchell to come off the IL too.  

It seems that the top comeback player of the year candidate, Spencer Torkelson, is beginning to cool off after his hot start.  But Torkelson is tied in team lead in doubles (11) for the Kids, second on the team in both runs scored (28) and RBI (33) and among team leaders in home runs (10).  

The Kids management did well with their Keepers from last season.  Elly De La Cruz leads the team in stolen bases with 14 and is among team leaders in runs scored (26) and hits (29).  Cal Raleigh has been pounding the ball in April and May.  He leads the team in Home Runs (12) and walks (27) and is among the leaders in runs scored (26).  Julio Rodriguez is the most pedestrian from last year's keepers.  It didn't seem that he could have as dismal a season as last year, so it seemed worth the risk to keep him.  It isn't paying off quite as much as management had hoped, but his numbers are strong enough to call it a win so far.  He leads the team in triples (2) and is among team leaders in runs scored (27).  The team would like to see more in the power and speed categories, but we will take slow and steady in his performance.  

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the MVP and RoY for the team in the first six weeks.  He leads the team in runs scored (31), tied for first in doubles (11), and second on the team in stolen bases (13).  Additionally, Crow-Armstrong is among team leaders in home runs (10) and runs batted in (28). 

Here is the team roster as of the beginning of Week 7:
