Tim Tebow batted .226 with 8 HRS & 52 RBI

and there's a better chance of winning the lottery than Tebow getting released if he struggles in spring training. I think you are jumping the gun on his chances since this was his first year after a 12 year absence.

I'm not making it up. There are rumblings of it in the press in NY. Tebow is popular in Florida so he draws crowds to Port St. Lucie. Binghampton, Las Vegas, and New York are different stories. It will be a novelty for a bit but it will wear off. They aren't going to block the development of a young player with high upside by putting a 30 year old, no glove, .200 hitter ahead of him. It's not going to happen. His value to the organization was positive press with the signing, and ticket sales in Florida. They got all of that last year. If he don't start playing better, he will no longer be of use to them.

his defense picked up the 2nd half of the season, I think he'll continue to improve. the newspapers are not calling the shots, the GM is. and the GM likes him. if he didn't he would have said "He'll get a fair chance to see if he can improve" but he didn't. he said that he thinks Tebow could make it to Flushing. but personally, I don't think the invite to spring training was wise. there are many others more deserving of that invite that him at this point. I still think it's impressive for him to have been out 12 years and accomplish what he did in his first year. dude's gonna get a chance, but I agree with you in that he'll have to get better. they will not let him continue indefinitely for the reasons you stated.
