Micah Johnson optioned to Triple-A Charlotte
Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY SportsEarly defensive struggles for Johnson and a sizzling hot Carlos Sanchez add up to a swapping of spots
Despite several recent votes of confidence, the White Sox have made the move Jim discussed yesterday -- they optioned Micah Johnson to AAA Charlotte.
Johnson had played only 107 games above A-ball coming into the season, and it has shown defensively. His -8 defensive runs saved is currently the AL low and is second only to Will Myers -9 for the major league "lead." In case you were wondering, UZR doesn't like him much either, and he's in the bottom 10 there as well. (Adam Eaton, unfortunately, is second from the bottom in UZR.)
