Guest boatboatboat Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 New York Mets “prospect” Tim Tebow appears to be on the fast track. Despite a rough line in Class A, the 29-year-old was moved up a level following Sunday’s game. [Fantasy Football is open! Sign up now]The move was met with some criticism. Tebow wasn’t exactly tearing it up with the Columbia Fireflies, hitting just .220/.311/.336, with three home runs, over 224 plate appearances. After 64 games, the Mets decided he was ready for the next level. By comparison, Bryce Harper played nine more games in the same league before the Washington Nationals moved him up.Because of that, Tebow’s promotion was probably more about the money. The Mets realized they could profit off selling Tebow merchandise with a new team. People want to see him play, and the Mets took advantage of that.It also means that Tebow could move through the organization a lot quicker than expected. If the Mets keep Tebow on the same track, it’s possible he could wind up in the majors before the end of the season.If you feel strongly about that, you are more than welcome to place your hard-earned money on it. Bovada has released odds on how high Tebow will move through the organization this season. If you think you know whether Tebow is bound for the Mets, you could make a significant profit. You can bet on how far Tebow will go in 2017. (Screen shot courtesy of Bovada) As you can see, the odds don’t just focus on the majors. You can also bet on whether Tebow will appear in Double-A or in Triple-A this year.So, which way are you leaning? The Mets were pretty quick to promote Tebow despite some shaky stats, and could continue to do that all year. At 29, he’s older than the normal prospect, so the team could be aggressive with him. On top of that, the Mets are 34-41, and could use Tebow as a September attendance boost if fans start to lose interest.On the other hand, it’s not going to get easier as Tebow moves up. If his numbers take a dive as he faces tougher competition, the Mets could pump the brakes on the experiment. If they truly care about his development, the best thing for both sides would be to let Tebow stay at one level until he figures things out.If we were a betting site, we would … you know what, we’re not a betting site, so we won’t tell you how to spend your hard-earned gummy bears. If you’re going to do so, we just ask that you place your bets legally. It’s what Tebow would want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 he's hitting 220 with a 649 OPS in A Ball. Had no business being promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Aristatel Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Tebow with a walk off homer tonight. 3 hr and batting .327 since joining St. Lucie. Not too shabby for a guy that basically hadn't played baseball since HS. May not belong as some say. But the guy is a hell of an athlete.

Always Call Heads Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not sure what crowds are like but he could produce sellouts which would be a bonanza. Jordan and Strasburg were major events at Double A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boatboatboat Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Since being promoted to a higher league Tebow immediately took to his new competition, posting five hits, including a home run, in his first three games with St. Lucie. He has not relented since, and his slash line now sits at a healthy .320/.407/.520 through 23 games. If he had enough plate appearances to qualify for rate stats, his .927 OPS would be third in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
