Because it deserves its own thread. First thing anyone will notice is that Tebow is completely jacked. No need for any scouts to worry about what kind of shape he's in. His outfielding abilities were up and down. His fielding is a little bit shaky, he seems a bit tentative as the ball approaches but his range and accuracy was pretty great from what I got to see. His batting skills are at least near MLB-level. His form is great and he was hitting some bombs in practice. He looked good with real pitches, swung and missed at a couple of change-ups, but his power is without question and he had a good eye. The guy could be a stud at the plate. Some outfield work in the offseason to get him more comfortable and I could easily see him playing in the majors at some point. But of course, his detractors are always there. Larry Bowa came out and said “Whoever’s idea it is, they don’t respect the game of baseball. It’s a hard game. You don’t come in at age 28 or 29. How can you take 10 years off and all of the sudden be facing guys throwing 95, guys throwing sliders?” What in the hell is disrespectful about that? I understand "cutting in line", but you only get one life, and Tebow is clearly an athletic specimen with the capabilities of playing with the best. And if he proves to be better than some of the AA/AAA prospects, there's no reason why he shouldn't jump ahead. I also love how his tone instantly changed from "disrespectful to baseball" to "he can't". What if he can hit a 95 MPH slider? If he can come in and hit a 95 MPH slider, doesn't he deserve the opportunity to play in the majors? You don't hear anybody ever bitching about a stud college quarterback who dedicates four years to football, doesn't get drafted in the NFL and decides to declare for the MLB draft. Why is that treated differently? And you didn't hear one person say it was disrespectful to baseball when Michael Jordan decided to jump in and give it a try, even though he sucked total ass. What about Deion Sanders? Bo Jackson? {Hey, Bowa...} Here's a video from the workout.

For not playing in over 10 years, he didn't look bad at all. The Rays are teh suck, I'd take him just to get asses in the seats and to sell merch.

With 28 out of 30 teams showing up, I'd have to think this has to land him a job somewhere. Where ever he goes, he'll easily be the teams most popular or second most popular player instantly.
Also, The Cubs and A's have now ensured extremely bad juju will be thrust upon them. A plague on their houses! No World Series for the Cubs this year.

This gets a thread seriously? The Rockies can have him maybe with the power of Jason and God behind him he can just skip the minors and start contributing immediately.

Why do you hate Tebow, Tigg? I don't hate Tebow I just think he was a way below average NFL quarterback and think he has no shot at all of playing in the major leagues. He beat the Steelers in the playoffs I could never hate him but I do see this as more of a publicity stunt.

Are you trolling here? The least egotistical human on the planet is probably Tim Tebow.

Jason, how do we setup a way to like and dislike posts on this board? That way we could down vote Tigg's posts here straight to H E double hockey sticks.

Not to mention he's 30 who starts a minor league career at 30? Does he think he's Roy Hobbs or something.

Tigg, as you can see, Jason is the gay for Tebow. I don't think I have gushed over another man like he does the Tebow. If you say that he ain't Gods gift to the human race, then you obviously hate him. I guess.

Well, when you say that the most kind and humble man in sports history who is trying to extend his sports career is in it for publicity and ego then it's pretty safe to assume you hate the guy. Where was the outrage when Bo Jackson jumped to baseball? Or Deion Sanders? Or Michael Jordan?
