Big Swap Announced in NCAA:
General managers have a very difficult job and it never gets more difficult than when they pull off a huge trade. Today, the Colorado Buffaloes and Clemson Tigers did just that. 28-year-old RF Sam Thompson will be going to Clemson and 25-year-old CF Bernie F Williams and 23-year-old RHP Jerry Villalba going to Colorado.
"Whenever you make a big trade like this, you worry a little bit about the affect it will have on your team," Buffaloes GM Hyun-jun Shin admitted. "Will the chemistry still be there? Will the fans approve the trade? There's always a risk, but you have to do whatever you can to improve your team. I think we've done that today."
In his career Thompson is batting .333 with a total of 182 home runs.
Lifetime Williams is batting .289 with 155 doubles, 13 triples, 108 home runs and 366 RBIs in 620 games.
