    He's not even on the 40-man. Gonna be tough to make the big club, even as a sideshow attraction. But he'll sell tickets in Binghamton or Vegas.

    Is somebody going to cite this as proof Tebow is a prospect?

    Mets are in Syracuse now, so he'll be in the heart of ACC country, if anywhere higher than A ball.

    Duh, I knew that, read they have even changed their name from the Sky Chiefs to the Mets. They were the good old Syracuse Chiefs back in my day, at old MacArthur Stadium.

    This experiment should be done. Just like no one was ever going to buy tickets to watch him hold a clipboard in the NFL, eventually people won't be buying tickets to watch someone hit .157. It's done. Over. Time for Timmy to go get married and start planning on running for governor in Florida. He'd win that.

    The big question is whether he'd be willing to wait for the Trumpist currently in the job to term-limit out or whether the statewide GOP klan would support him as a primary challenger to the incumbent ASAP. I'm guessing they'd ask Timmy to chill. At his earliest opportunity, he'll win with 70% of the vote.

    And he'd be just as good of a governor as he is as a baseball player.

    He should just concentrate on his foundation but I doubt he will

    Among those with ≥ 150 AB -- he falls only six PA short of qualifying for batting leaders -- Tebow is last in the International League in batting average, last in OBP, last in slugging, last in OPS and 128th of 137 total candidates in RBI.

    He's on track to be the first International League player this decade to hit ≤ .160 with ≥ 200 AB in a season. Only one other player has even hit < .170 with that ample an opportunity.

    It really is absurd.

    Tebow's making Michael Jordan look like Cool Papa Bell.
