If Tebow is bringing in 2k more fans a night and can sustain that HE needs a new contract for sure.
So far he has had some moderate success at A- ball. I wonder what the opinions are if he could crack the U of Florida lineup and how he would do if he theoretically had college eligibility left?

As I understand it, NCAA eligibility starts the moment you're on a team roster and lasts 4 consecutive years, with a 5th year for injury/redshirt. So you can compete as a 39 year old if you've never played NCAA sports, but you can't compete 1 year at age 18, then come back at 40 and be eligible.
Tebow's performing decent. He's not getting extra base hits, so where's the power? Young kids who are still growing into power hitters are at least able to get doubles at this level. Tim is purely a singles hitter at the moment.

My knowledge of the U of Florida lineup is nonexistent, but I would be shocked if all 9 hitters could put up a .700 OPS in A ball. That would be a helluva college lineup. The SEC is a good league but no comparison to full-season A ball IMO. Lengthy HSBBW thread on this topic: http://community.hsbaseballweb...leagues-and-major-d1
Yes, he plays and starts for U of Florida and any other high level collegiate baseball team. He might play first, but he starts.
You have to admire his work ethic and drive.
At least he's not a liberal-millennial-epicopalian-yankee-woman. 
(I kid. I kid. I couldn't help myself.)
I think it's funny that critics bring up how old Tebow is while not considering his healthy lifestyle (he appears happy, good diet, no drugs, no alcohol, no steroids). His biological clock has him at age 1. Now he is too young to be in the minors - lol
I can see you old farts looking up the biological clock calculator now. I did.
Gotta love the fact that he is still a hot topic.....

I unfriend you.
Haha I'm posting pictures to my wall.

This would move that biological age backward a little to reality.
Tim Tebow is boosting attendance by 92% in Columbia Fireflies road games according to @BaseballAmerica.

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 is hitting .206 over his last ten games. He's hitting .236 overall.
I think Tebow has done quite well for someone who hasn't played any professional baseball and is relying on the pure athleticism and reflexes of a football player. He certainly hasn't embarrassed himself up to this point. Sure, compared to a new draft pick coming out of Rookie ball he is doing mediocre at best. But for someone who hasn't played baseball since High School, there is no denying he has found more success than most people would have thought possible.
I want to see him play against other 29 and 30 year old, not those as much as 6-7 years younger in low A.

You're welcome, Ryno!
At the end of the day, Tebow will continue to be just fine, with or without baseball.
Frankly, the sports world and the world in general is better with him.
