Thread: Tim Tebow to pursue a career in professional baseball

I disagree.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Tim Tebow has been playing with the St. Lucie Mets for less than a month — a very small sample size to analyze a baseball player — but the early returns are impressive.

After hitting .220/.311/.336 in 64 games at low-A Columbia, the 29-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner is batting .306/.390/.514 with the Mets heading into Thursday night’s game against the Jupiter Hammerheads.

Why? Tebow always has and always will move the needle.

Your point is valid. Personally, I found judging fly balls to not be very easy

He's a religious and vocal man while being a better athlete than Bo Jackson. Of course he moves the needle.

True. Good point, my stylebrother.

I think he's going to get into baseball and kill it. At that point the NFL return is inevitable. We're seeing the ground seeds of something special.

You don't seriously believe he's a better athlete than Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson is the best athlete I've ever seen.

Bo Jackson is a chump compared to Teebs. Can't hold his jock as an athlete!

He's a much better all around athlete than Jackson. Jackson was romanticized. He wasn't a great baseball player, and his time in the NFL only revealed he was a frail flash in the pan.

Jackson was a baseball player longer than Tebow and Tebow is already on a trajectory to surpass him.

Trolling, trolling, trolling.

Personally I'm a Tebow fan, but I try to remain objective.

You're a Bo Jackson fanboy. You can't be objective here.
