Tim Tebow pursuing baseball career

[MrTPlush]

Tebow hit a walk off homerun and is hitting over .300 so far at A+ with an OPS over .900. He actually has been pretty average which all things considered is pretty incredible

For all those hating on Tebow's decision to play baseball:

This is a strange combination of three of my least favorite things: Tim Tebow, Stephen A Smith, and Breitbart.

Saw an article about Tebow who is still kicking it in MiLB baseball. The New York Mets are now wasting a spot on their AA team for Tebow. His strikeout rate is rough, but has 4 homers along with a .325 OBP/.710 OPS.

 

 

Honestly it looks like he might just be passable enough to get a MLB callup someday if the Mets aren't competing in September. He doesn't deserve it by potential and stats, but the attraction of him would probably be nice. I give him credit...he has lasted and done a lot better than I was thinking.

I give him a lot of credit. He hasn't embarrassed himself at all.

 

You can justify his numbers at AA a lot better than 1994 Michael Jordan.

Tebow still draws the crowds too.

 

The other teams in the Eastern League love the attendance bump as he makes his rounds across the league..

When you consider all the never-will-be's that make up minor league rosters, I don't know how anyone can complain about Tebow being around. His numbers are serviceable and he sells tickets where ever they play.

He plays in the OF though (LF) and plays a lot. I’d think any team can find more legit guys to put in LF. Not a big deal I’m the grand scheme.

This is very true, I can pick at least five guys on each of our minor league teams that hold roster spots, that have basically a 0 chance of ever doing anything in the big leagues. It's the same when you look at the draft past round 20. You can waste a pick on whatever crazy longshot you want, 90+% will never play in a major league game.
