The Braves were finally able to rid themselves of Chris Johnson’s (3B, CLE) bloated contract, acquiring Michael Bourn (OF, ATL) and Nick Swisher (1B/OF, ATL) in the process. As we discussed here last week, Johnson was slated to become the team’s third option at the hot corner once Hector Olivera (3B, ATL) joined the team, possibly within the next ten days or so.
