Justin Morneau hopes his concussion problems are behind him, but may leave baseball if they continue:

“I don’t think there will be a career if it’s something I’m dealing with (for the long term),” Morneau said Friday before the Twins held their first full-squad workout of spring training. “That’s the reality of the whole thing. I’m obviously not going to continue to mess around with this if it continues to be a problem.

“There comes a point where you can only torture yourself for so long. It’s something I love to do but you keep preparing and you keep being left out. That’s something that nobody wants to go through.”

It’s good that Justin is realistic about his situation. Mike Matheny stopped playing and his symptoms are rare enough that he can manage a team. Justin doesn’t want a worse situation than that.
