Tim Tebow batted .226 with 8 HRS & 52 RBI

I don't consider age as much of a problem. I think if Tebow can make it on an mlb roster for a few non-September months this was a success. He's already set financially

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure what his baseball career is about, but it's not about money. He's written three books now which I'm sure will bring in more money than he'll ever make playing baseball. I'd imagine his main reason for playing is just to keep his competitive juices flowing, and secondly to see how far he can go - because you know he's going to give it all he's got. He's on SEC Network so it's not to keep himself in the spotlight. I'd bet he continues to play until he's played for about 5-6 years and if he's made it to the show, then he made it, and if not so be it. In my estimation, he will be in AAA next year if for nothing else, a way to help generate revenue for another Mets minor league club. If he can hit around .250 or so and the Mets suck again, he'll get a September call up. Maybe he'll make the opening day roster in 2020 and then fizzle out his career that year in AAA before hanging it up at age 33. That would be a tremendous success if he accomplished that.

The Mets should just promote him. They are awful, whether you like him or not, he's interesting and will move some tickets and sell jerseys and his meter is running age wise whether people want to admit it or not - Tebow maybe a great athlete but age takes away reflexes and older guys are struggling against today's pitching - period.

So there's no real loss in giving him a shot. If he makes it - great, if he doesn't he can get in the booth and get on with it.

I'd prefer the call up to be based on merit, not PR. Don't wanna feed the Tebow hating machine.
