Micah Johnson optioned to Triple-A Charlotte

Early 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.
