i find it interesting that I’m pulling so hard for the kid to make it to the show. It’s not that I didn’t like him, but I’ve never really rooted for a gator before.

He's just not good enough for anyone to expect him to ever play in the majors. He is barely able to stay above the Mendoza Line in A ball and his OPS is poor as well. 8 HRs in his 480ish ABs isn't going to turn any heads either. Besides that, he's 30 years old.

I mean really, what MLB team couldn't use a leftfielder with a terrible batting average and marginal power?

I know it’s a serious long shot, but for some inexplicable reason....I’m pullin for that kneelin, smilin, Jesus freak.

I read an article today where the Mets GM was quoted saying he’d be up some day....but I’m well aware he has a lot to gain by making that statement.

The Marlins? Is this a trick question?

I think Tebow is honestly a really good guy. I don't wish any bad luck on him, but I'm not going to lose sleep if he never makes it as a pro baseball player.

I'd rather his eventual MLB roster spot go to someone deserving, as opposed to the obvious PR ploy to have Tebow on the roster, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

I agree with that. I doubt a team would go that far with the PR scheme, and I’m well aware that even his spot in the minors is a scheme along those lines. I hoping he earns it.

But....will you lose sleep over it?
