Monterey baseball

Is there reason to believe a ninth straight MBL title isn't in the cards for the defending CCS Division II champions?
Monterey lost two dynamic four-year starters that were leaders on and off the field.
That's a role someone has to pick up.
 Daniel Edwards is coming off a 12-1 season on the mound, and was an ESPN pre-season All-American.
 R.J. Shird is a big bat in the lineup along with Tyler Leidig, while Jimmy Hill becomes a full time starter behind the plate.
 There are, however, a lot of new faces on the mound.
