Tim Tebow batted .226 with 8 HRS & 52 RBI

[BrunswickDawg]

Not trolling I fully expect Tebow to beat out one of these bums soon Juan Lagares, Brandon Nimmo, or Mat Den Dekker. I don't expect Tebow to play over the 3 starting OFs Bruce, Conforto, Cespedes but I expect one of them will get an injury cough cough Cespedes cough cough and I expect the Mets will start falling down the standings and the fans will call for Tebow to give the team and fans an emotional lift and that's when Tebow will take the 5th OF spot on the MLB roster bumping out a bum.

I'd love to know what you are smoking, because its some high quality stuff. Side effects are delusions about the abilities of Tebow, but I could put up with that if it made me as optimistic as you are about the guy.

Tim Tebow is a great human being. He does tremendous things for kids and charities. He is not an NFL QB, and he is not an MLB OF, DH, or anything else. He is an above average CFB analysts, and needs to stick with it.

no. he's gonna give it another year or two and see what happens. and he should. being out of the game for 12 years and he just completed his first professional season. go read the article I posted earlier in this thread and tell me he should quit. no way. and it's not biased, it talks about the negatives and positives.

I believe in the unbelievable in life. It's just my makeup. I believe in humans to do seemingly impossible things. If I would tell you in 2005 that Dustin Pedroia would be the starting 2b for the Red Sox for over a decade straight, win an MVP, win 2 World Series and hit over 140 career homeruns you'd ask me what I was smoking just like you did here. People do amazing things every single day. I believe Tebow isn't done showing us to stop underestimating him.

Sure I’d believe you. In 2005, at the age of 21, Pedroia slashed .293/.385/.452 with more BBS than Ks in AA and AAA. He was also a 2nd round draft pick. Looks like at worst you have an average future MLB starter with those numbers at that level at that age. I don’t see how this is comparable to tebow’s situation.

Find dawgs if I was to tell you in 1998 Dustin Pedroia would be who he'd become. Better for ya now? Does my point resonate yet?

I’m sure Dustin pedroia was the best or one of the best 14-15 year old kids in his region/state. He was recruited to Arizona st, a traditional baseball powerhouse, so I’m assuming by then he was on the radar as baseball talent by then. Given his age, he also had years of development and physical and mental maturation ahead of him and was still over a decade younger that most baseball players prime years which typically fall in the 25-30 range. Whereas Tebow is a poor hitting, poor fielding 30 year old that put up a sub-.700 ops against guys 10 years younger than him, and he’s already at an age where most players’ prime years are ending. And he spent 7 years playing in the NFL and CFB as a battering ram at QB, plus another couple seasons on practice squads, so his body has taken more of a beating than most 30 year old MLB players, most of whom stopped playing football sometime in HS.

So yeah, there’s no comparison at all. Picking one of the best teenage baseball players in the country and declaring they’d win MVPs and world series’ and play every day in the bigs for over a decade, I’d say you have a relatively good chance at being right (some of those teens are going to grow up and be stars, so picking one of the best teens gives you as good of a shot at being right as anyone). Picking a 30 year old who hasn’t played in 12 years and who had a sub-.700 ops and his .226 doesn’t have quite the same ceiling or expectation of success.

You're just arguing to argue. I can't spark inspiration in your life bruh only you can. Good luck

[Maroon Wizardry]

i think you are just arguing to argue. it's sad no one can't spark rational thought processes for you in regards to the risks professional sports teams take when investing in talent.
