[jjgold]

Good signing

[grease lightnin]

Instructional league.

praying tebow < praying mantis

[texhooper]

someone was gonna sign him just to get a little extra media exposure. maybe it ends up working out, almost certainly not, but for at least one day everyone will be talking about the mets.

[TheSideBet]

Ticket and apparel sales move.

[The Giant]

This almost guarantees a Mets championship this season.

[Snake24]

From Jets to Mets...

just a media trick 100% agree. tebow will be trying himself in other sport in a year, NRL rugby maybe

[eeezzzz]

He will bat under .100 guaranteed.

[DwightShrute]

He will be traded to Boston and then Denver before too long.

[intermission]

Tickets and jerseys...easy money for the mets!

[Bill Dozer]

The NFL and NBA need a true minor league system. Soccer has it. Even UFC has their amateur stuff where they put the Kimbo Slices. We need a place to put the Master Ps and Brock Lesnars of football.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

From Jets to Mets...

Next year... Nets?

[jtoler]

30-30 type guy Mets got a gift.

Growing up my cousin and I always wanted to play for Tidewater, they are Norfolk now and arnt part of the Mets anymore, but Orioles org, but before Tebow gets his cup of coffee next September and make the team in 2018 he'll be in Vegas ripping the cover off the ball.

Timmy on his baseball pursuit


"For me, you pursue what you love regardless of what else happens. If you fail or fall flat on your face, and that's the worst thing that can happen, it's OK.''

[Chi_archie]

I hope he is prepared to spend at least 6-8 years riding buses if he ever wants a whiff of the show

guys that are way better players than him that come out of HS without a decade + long layoff need 4-6 years to maybe get a shot.

.0001% that Tebow even gets to high A ball

in 2 years he will be in the majors or out of the game. Do you really think he is gonna get treated like some high school draft pick whose is 19? Next year, don't be suprised to see mets bring him up to the big club in september just for publicity. That would be huge, covered by everyone and definitely sold out. Hey, I'm rooting him but realistically don't expect Tim Tebow to make it. It will be fun to keep track of.

[DeathAdder]

Love it. Guys a stud could be the next Dion or Bo

Lol no way

if he plays for the MLB mets in regular season I'll ship you 2k points

[Mac4Lyfe]

All he does is win. Winning is contagious. I can't wait to see him take a knee after a home run. haha

[TheMoneyShot]

Hope he pisses in a cup on Day 1.

There's NO WAY Tebow is on illegal supplements. That's all natural.

Man some of you need to go to the gym and learn.

You guys probably don't even know how to train.

If anyone roots against Timothy Tebow, they are the scum of the earth.

How can you not love this guy???

Here’s some of what Law wrote in his scouting report for ESPN, which is only available to ESPN Insiders:

Tim Tebow is in the Arizona Fall League. He might be better suited to playing in an Arizona high school league. His presence here is a farce, and he looks like an imposter pretending to have talent he does not possess.

[Chi_archie]

Tebow the baseball player is not a baseball player; he’s a washed-up quarterback who has size and nothing else. His swing is long, and he wields the bat like someone who hasn’t played the sport in more than a decade, which he hasn’t. He can’t catch up to 90 mph, which is well below the major league average for a fastball, and was cutting through fastballs in the zone on Wednesday night. He rolled over twice on fastballs, which is something you generally see professional hitters do only on off-speed stuff, and he showed below-average running speed. In left field, his routes look like those of a wide receiver, although he managed to eventually make his way around to a fly ball in left. In short, there’s absolutely no baseball justification for Tebow to be here.

Is there anything Tebow can due after college other than pray alot???
He is a con artist joke.

[Mr KLC]

On Friday, however, he got sacked. Like a quarterback would. Tebow’s baseball turn got ripped apart by ESPN’s lead scout Keith Law, who called the entire thing a “farce” and wrote that there’s “absolutely no baseball justification for Tebow.” Ouch.

And remember, this is ESPN, a network that has traditionally been supportive of The Tebow Show, and a network that still employs Tebow as a college football analyst. (In fact, Tebow is missing Friday and Saturday’s Arizona Fall League games for his TV gig).

Here’s some of what Law wrote in his scouting report for ESPN, which is only available to ESPN Insiders:

Tim Tebow is in the Arizona Fall League. He might be better suited to playing in an Arizona high school league. His presence here is a farce, and he looks like an imposter pretending to have talent he does not possess.
Then there’s this, which addresses some of the flaws in Tebow’s game:

Tebow the baseball player is not a baseball player; he’s a washed-up quarterback who has size and nothing else. His swing is long, and he wields the bat like someone who hasn’t played the sport in more than a decade, which he hasn’t.
