You can call me a "worry-wart" all you want, I worry about the Giants facing this with Posey some day and with Susac's development, I'm not sure why you continue taking the risk too much longer.
from Bleacher Report:
The Phillies have lost a catching prospect, but possibly gained a first base prospect.
After suffering several concussions behind the plate, Tommy Joseph is officially being converted from catcher to first base. He began working out at the position on Saturday.
“He’s not going to catch going forward,” said Joe Jordan, the team’s director of player development. “We’re not going to expose him to that type of risk.
“Tommy is very excited about the move and anxious to get back on the field playing again.”
Joseph, 23, is a former second-round pick of the San Francisco Giants. He joined the Phillies in the summer of 2012 as the centerpiece in the trade that sent Hunter Pence to the Giants. Joseph immediately became the Phillies’ top catching prospect, but a concussion and a wrist injury that required surgery limited his playing time the last two seasons.
