Timmy Tebow simplified his stance and load, minimized his stride and shortened his swing [View all]

Now that he’s in Triple-A with the Syracuse Mets and has played 11 games, it's time to ask it again: Hey, how's Timmy Tebow doing at baseball lately?

The answer is: Meh.

That doesn't take away from the fact that he made it this far and it's an inspiration. But his numbers don't exactly scream YOU GOTTA CALL UP TIM TEBOW TOMORROW.

In 11 games, he's driven in five runs. Not bad! He's also struck out 15 times and is batting .162 with a .441 OPS and no home runs. Not good!


And despite Timmy's batting slump Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen, his former agent, believes he's a real prospect with a potential big league future. Should he keep progressing at his current rate, Van Wagenen thinks he can play at the highest level.

Maybe Timmy should have taken Jose Canseco's offer: https://www.democraticunderground.com/12063332
