Mets have discussed promoting Tim Tebow within the minors, but will likely wait until midseason. He's hitting .327 over his last 16 games.

Tebow, for his part, has performed better than you would expect for someone with limited exposure to professional pitchers. He entered Friday hitting .250/.330/.370 in 112 plate appearances. The usual caveats apply -- yes, he's 29 on a team where the next-oldest regular is 22; yes, there are significant reasons to doubt his ability to have a meaningful big-league career; and so on -- but it's fair to write that nobody expected him to produce the second-best OPS on the team among qualifiers.

He sells tickets. Makes sense to promote.

It's crazy to think about how good Tebow would've been if he had chosen baseball. I thought no way in hell he would even be ok in the minor leagues. He can't be any worse than Granderson has been this year.

I figure a reasonable goal would be to get at bats in spring training wearing actual mets uni.
He gets hot and called up next year he will get to pinch hit , maybe DH in a inter league game.
ps
Op term call up does not apply to moving up to AA

You have to admire his determination.

Timmy T needs to face reality and pour himself into broadcasting.

I don't know why people have to be so negative about someone going after something and trying to make something happen.
Many people here are like that cliche character in movies that keep telling the main character that they'll never amount to anything and they should quit and give up.
It baffles me why people who go after something they want get such a bitter reaction out of people.

Eh, I'm not a tebow hater at all but anyone has to admit the dude brings the spotlight to himself whether good or bad. I don't blame him one bit, if anything he does a great job of keeping himself in the spotlight and keeping that endorsement money flowing in. It's his life and he has 'F U money' so he can do as he pleases.
He's up there with the Kardashians as someone who does a great job staying in the limelight with the fewest actual accomplishments, but again good for him. They are both 1%ers so good for them, but don't cry about the negative pub because that's part of their career.
Good for Tebow for doing fairly well considering his age and lack of playing time for many years, but I don't think you can ignore the fact that he got the chance because of the publicity and fans he draws in. But so far he's probably one of the best investments the Mets have made in the past 5 years.
He's gotta be far and away the highest selling jersey of any minor leaguer right? I can't imagine it's close, like him being higher than almost every other player combined?

He may be older but He's got less reps as a baseball player than all of his teammates. Definitely impressive for him to be one of the better hitters on the team

Good for him.

He's not getting called up, title is very misleading

If .700 is the 2nd best OPS on the team does his team just suck shite?

Even if he does...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how on a message board when the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Can a 22 year old pitcher not get a 29 year old who hasn't played baseball in over a decade out?
I'm not sure how that's at all relevant
