Tim Tebow batted .226 with 8 HRS & 52 RBI

Do you have anything of substance to add to this thread? I mean, anything based on fact or logic?

Wait...you're dawgs61....of course you don't. My bad.

Jesus turned water into wine. That's not based on fact or logic. Tebow will shine in the city that doesn't sleep this year. That's also not based on fact or logic. Spell my name correctly if you're gonna use it Bubb Rubb and Little Sis.

I doubt very seriously he gets called up to Flushing, NY this year. whether they're in the hunt in Sept or not. that would give the Tebow haters lots of negative ammo to throw at him. (denying a more qualified player a shot).... He's just not ready yet. I also don't think he's ready for spring training yet either and I hope the invite he got isn't keeping someone else whose more qualified from an invite.

America needs Tebow in MLB. I hope he gets called up and mashes 65 homeruns taking the Mets all the way to game 7 of the NLCS before they lose to the Giants.

While you're at it, dawgs61, hope to win the lottery. You have an exponentially better chance of that happening than Tebow doing any of this. Most baseball insiders would be shocked to see him in AAA, let alone the show.

He will grant a couple of make-a-wish wishes, he will sign a lot of autographs, and he will conduct himself with integrity. Credit to him for all of that. And he will do all of that in Binghampton...if he makes it through spring training. If he struggles in spring training, there's a better than even chance he gets released.

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.

Sometimes dismissed as a sideshow or a novelty over the last couple minor league seasons, Tebow?s bat has caught fire over the last couple months for the Binghamton (N.Y.) Rumble Ponies, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets. Hitting .390 in July and .305 in June, Tebow bumped his season batting average up from .234, where it sat on the last day of May, to .270.

The surge made him an All-Star, at least a minor league All-Star, and speculation is growing that Tebow could get promoted to Triple A or even the big leagues later this season.

In other words, it will be a miracle. Thanks for finally acknowledging this, dawgs61.

[ScoobaDawg]

Name another player that will sell more tickets for the Mets this year than Tebow would? That includes their current MLB roster. That is why he will most definitely be called up by the Mets this year and he's going to be the talk of NYC for months. He will be a must see item and the Mets will be sold out and dominating the sports headlines in the city that has the Yankees reigning king. I am fired up for Tebow. Can not wait.

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?
