3B is where you put your BIG guy who doesn't move very well. The best catchers have the speed, movement and athleticism that if they weren't catching they would be playing shortstop.

Around here the lumbering BIG guy would be either 1) the DH (so long as he could hit) or 2) at 1B.

Otherwise, yes, a good catcher needs to be agile. And if you hit well regardless of position, coaches generally find away to get you in the lineup.
