Tim Tebow... Baseball player.

Intriguing.

 

[fishwater99]

[jethreauxdawg]

He was a higher rated baseball prospect

Out of high school

 

[AFDawg]

Not drinking. Just bad at linking.

Braves will trade Freeman, Kemp and Teheran to get him from whoever he signs with.

WTF? They guy is 28 years old and hasn't played baseball in over 10 years. If anyone signs him, it's nothing more than a publicity stunt. If he'd played college baseball and done this 5 years ago, it might have been a different story.

Minor league/Independent League baseball franchises would struggle to exist without promotions. Every team in baseball has a guy on the roster struggling to stay above the Mendoza line. It would seem to me that it would be good for business if that guy was someone that people would pay to see.

Good point.. hit the bull, win a steak dinner.. To a minor league GM a "publicity stunt" means a boost to his budget.

Tebow might struggle to hit half the Mendoza line, even at the Class A level. I don't see this even approaching being as legitimate as Michael Jordan playing AA ball was. But, you're right, publicity stunts have been going on in baseball for a long time. It won't be as much of a farce as Eddie Gaedel was.

That's all he would be a sideshow. Tebow had a chance to play in the NFL, but he was unwilling to play another position.

Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball???

I wish had been able to get a personal trainer in my late 20's and had a chance to work for a year on my game. Especially, if afterward I would have had one the world's former premier hitters say that I was legit: You dam straight I would be doing this as well.

For those that think that guy can just be a TE. He has never blocked or even ran a legit route in his life. He probably couldn't make a team at that position and probably has a better chance at getting in the minor leagues at least to get a shot.

He's leaving no stone unturned

I'd do it too, if in his position.

Seems to be one of a kind.

Do it till he knows it won't work,

Then work for ESPN, or coach QB at MSU.
