Definitely doing better than Jordan when he tried it. If he keeps improving you never know.

If he can just cut down the strikeouts his BA will improve and he'll be a .260-ish hitter (in AA ball). I have no clue how that translates to MLB, but w/ the Mets being a sh*t-show they may call him up just for the media exposure. He really should have done this 2 or 3 years earlier instead of holding out hope an NFL team would pick him up again. His age is another factor not in his favor of making it. I hope he at least gets a "cup of coffee".

Seriously though, with no malice intent, he's not going to come even remotely close to making anything above a low A-ball roster, if that. That's not hate, that's not me hoping he's going to fail, that's just the brutal truth.

What? He just made the AA all-star team.

Tebow should have taken up golf. Tournaments would explode with fans. Thursday rounds would be packed. If he can strike the ball I bet he could have the distances. Accuracy. Well...

How the hell is Tebow embarrassing me? You act like I'm the angry hairy one. AR, I sure hope you don't have a job that requires deductiive reasoning in any way.

I just said he is too old for them to ever waste time on him at the major league team.

Strike outs aren't a concern for major league teams. They love homers so much they will tolerate the Adam Dunn types.

Is Tebow ranked high in HRs ? No.
He needs so much improvement.
MLB HOF players had their better statistical years when they were older than Tim.
Since Tim has made a surprising improvement with relatively minimal learning, adapting years, hasn't he earned the "go ahead" on pursuing his dream ?
The folks in charge have stats that show Tim is earning more $s for them than they're paying out for most other minor league projects. Remember, they're all investment projects.

Actually, you said he was 1-A level and he has proved that he is at least a solid AA player. I believe I was discussing the potential for your embarrassment. I realize that you are too self assured to be embarrassed by how much you have missed on Tebow thus far, but given the absolutism with which you have expressed your negative perception, wouldn't Tebow in the majors be a little embarrassing?
P. S. Don't know why you would think I thought you were angry and I have no idea whether or not you are hirsute.

He’s made some serious progress in the last 2 years. I’d be willing to bet no one has ever worked harder at it than he has.

I still say that his biggest deficiency is bat speed. Watching him play live, it was really noticeable.

I don’t know if that’s a skill repetition thing or if it’s a pitch recognition thing.

wouldn't Tebow in the majors be a little embarrassing?.
Dude, Im a huge Tebow fan. Im not the one here clapping with every strikeout.

Might he get a September call up some time? Who knows. Is he ever going to be a major leaguer? There is little chance anyone is going to invest even a 40 man roster spot for a 33 or 34 yo minor leaguer.

It would be hilarious though, just for the entertainment of watching the christophobic snowflakes get triggered.

If my memory is correct you played division 3 football, probably because you love competitive sports. Which means you payed to play the game, but have a problem with Tebow being payed to play the game.

No I just like ruffling feathers here, especially with the "HE WAS KICKED OUT THE NFL FOR PRAYING!!!!!" crowd.

I'll let the board judge. Sounds like a different tune to me. But certainly doesn't justify accusing your betters of lacking deductive skills.
