EATON — Walker Martin is etched into Colorado prep baseball history.Over a hundred people packed into Martin’s house in Eaton to watch the draft, and erupted into deafening cheers when Martin’s name was announced as the No. 52 overall pick in the second round by the Giants.The pick made Martin the 10th-highest pick out of a Colorado high school ever.It made up for the disappointment from earlier in the night, when the Giants passed on Martin at No. 16 overall and the air went out of the room. Heading into the draft, San Francisco was closely tied to Martin at that pick, but selected two-way player Bryce Eldridge out of Madison High School in Virginia instead.But Martin ended up with San Francisco anyways. Sources said the Giants offered the shortstop a $3 million signing bonus, well over the $1,620,800 slot value of the No. 52 pick. Martin will forgo his commitment to Arkansas to begin his professional career, which will likely begin with the Low-A San Jose Giants....Police searching for wanted sex offender out of Riverside and Kings counties

He finished with 27 points and 12 rebounds, but the Spurs lost 85-80 to the Portland Trail Blazers.He was 9 of 14 from the floor, 7 of 12 from the line, blocked three shots and led a comeback where the Spurs cut a 19-point deficit down to one, but they never got the lead.There also were moments that reminded everyone that he’s still an NBA work in progress — he airballed his third 3-pointer in two games, got moved off his spot a couple of times on rebound opportunities — but it was clearly a more Wemby-like game than was the case in his debut on Friday night.He was only 2 for 13 from the field in San Antonio’s Vegas-opening win over Charlotte; he shot far better in G...Policía de Honduras analiza sustancia sospechosa encontrada en comida del presidente del Congreso
