ccl We have a tough act to follow from last year,” Blues manager Chal Fanning said. “We think we’ve got the personnel to compete and make another run.”Heading into tonight’s 6 p.m. nonleague opener against the SLO Rattlers at Sinsheimer Park’s SLO Stadium, Fanning wasn’t shy about calling the Foresters the team to beat but was confident in his own club’s talent base.The Blues’ preliminary roster includes 16 players from either Big 12 or SEC schools.
“The league has done a really good job of being nationally recognized,” Fanning said. “The Blues’ name is out there.“The big thing for us to compete in this league, especially with Santa Barbara being the top dog, is that we have to match up talent-wise.”Some of Fanning’s roster could be in flux soon, though, given the upcoming MLB Draft, which runs Monday through Wednesday.A headlining Blues prospect who’ll likely be selected highly is the club’s only incoming freshman,
Max Homick of Rancho Bernardo High in San Diego.A 6-foot-3, ambidextrous University of San Diego signee, Homick had a three-homer game earlier this prep season.
