Johnson is a veteran that the woeful Braves will gladly flip for young talent as the July 31st deadline approaches.

If Johnson is moved within the next month, he most likely would fill the role as the first bat off the bench and super utility player. His elgibility as a 1B/3B/OF makes him a valuable mid-season pickup.
