Though Tebow's odds of lasting success in baseball remain nearly impossibly long, he undoubtedly has pro-caliber athleticism and he will draw tons of fans to games at any minor-league park in which he plays. "You're hearing it here first". The 51s play in a dated facility and their manager, Wally Backman - though a far more interesting dude than the gritty old-school baseball cartoon he's often portrayed as - does not necessarily seem a great fit for Tebow (and all the associated nonsense) for a variety of reasons. That is until the media sees him put on a jersey, take a few swings in batting practice and either looks the part of Roy Hobbs or looks more like a fish out of water.
The New York Mets signed Tim Tebow to a minor league deal, but the former Heisman Trophy victor will still stay on board as an analyst for the SEC Network. While Arizona Fall League rosters have been set, it's possible Tebow could play among the game's advanced prospects this October should he flourish in an instructional setting.
Could Tim Tebow be playing at Cashman Field next season?
Most people call that a hobby.

The crews then had to strap themselves to passengers and rescue them one by one - something Labrunye described as "air surgery". The Vallée Blanche cable auto runs during the summer season, when large numbers of climbers and tourists flock to the area.
The Big Apple club insists that the move is not a publicity stunt and they are genuinely interested in the former quarterback's athletic prowess. Does Tebow expect us to take his efforts seriously when it appears that he isn't doing so himself?
Tebow, who is 29, has not played any organized baseball at any level since high school in Florida over 11 years ago. Not going all-in on baseball is hubris - the rules for success don't apply to him. Back in 2006, the Angels were considering selecting Tebow in the MLB Draft, and according to former scout Tom Kotchman, they would've. if Tebow returned his information card. He said he's "fully committed" to his job at ESPN - which, to be fair, he is good at - despite signing with the Mets. Tebow signed with the Eagles - his third shot at the National Football League - but was cut just before the season started, Kelly saying that Tebow "wasn't good enough to be our third-stringer". He wouldn't think twice about abandoning his post for that professional sports opportunity. He probably won't ever make it to the majors even if he does give it everything he has, but he's well within his rights to give it a shot if he wants to.
"Whether that translates into a major league uniform, as Tim has eloquently pointed out, it's about the process", he continued. However, let's not traffic in platitudes about full commitment and single-mindedness.
Baseball is a game of adjustments - you need to be obsessed with getting better to survive and advance.
