They can bounce him to different farm teams for a long time. While there, they will pay him nothing, fill the seats, sell a gazillion dollars worth of Tebow swag, and line their pockets. When sales drop off, they move him somewhere else and start over. They are praying that he keeps the desire to play.

I don't know why everyone wants to trash on Tebow. He works hard. He doesn't have a dozen illegitimate kids. I'm not a Tebow fan, but I sure as hell am not going to trash him.
