I just read an article from a scout who is watching him in camp right now. Said he "swings like a lumberjack" and "doesn't use his legs at all" and his swing "won't be effective against major league pitching." Defensively, he said Tebow "throws like he's trying to throw a wad of paper into a wastebasket" and he is "stiff and lacks mobility" in the field. This is despite him going through a rigid off season workout program designed to get him in better baseball shape.

But the best thing about baseball - the numbers will tell the tale. If he performs, he will make it. But he's got to become magically better at all of the following to even have a chance: hitting for average, hitting for power, drawing walks, defensive range, and fundamental technique. Oh yeah, and the guy is 30. Most of the guys working through these things in the low minors are 19/20 years old. The odds are very long against him. He's never even seen a pitch above A ball and we're contemplating his major league career.
