The first example came Tuesday when the Clippers made a trade that brought in Lance Stephenson, an outstanding defen...
Tyler Marks was a star pitcher at Culver City High, then he began to attract professional baseball scouts at Concordia College in Irvine, then came his biggest day. Marks, who registered 20 saves for Concordia last season as a junior, was drafted last week in the sixth round of baseball’s annual first year player draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
