If true he might end up being a 1B/DH for us

Justin Morneau was a 1b and his career was completely derailed by concussions. It can't just be the position, although catcher is definitely more exposed, might have to worry about the safety equipment and the rehab/recovery too.

How did Morneau get his concussions? Wasn't he hit sliding into 2nd or something crazy?

How is Collins getting his? Tipped balls behind the plate?

There is way more risk of a concussion at catcher than 1B or DH.

Many of his concussions were from when he was a hockey goalie as a youngster. Started out in minors as a catcher. After moving to 1B he got his most serious ones.
