Tebow's Roster Spot

Even with all of the pregame hype about the Super Bowl, former QB Tim Tebow still manages to make the sports pages of the New York Post.

He had a complete page dedicated to the story of him getting an invitation to spring training for the New York Mets. This doesn't guarantee him anything other than a chance to audition for a spot on the big league roster.

Tebow and the Mets are a perfect match for each other. The Mets have ben criticized by their fans for not signing key free agents. Tebow is great for creating hype and selling tickets.

They might be together this year if Tebow can hit at all. He has struggled in the minors, but the Mets promoted him to the next level.

For 2017, he had a .226 batting average with 126 strikeouts in 126 games. He has shown some power at times.

Tebow will get a chance that many others could only wish for. He is jumping ahead of other players in the Mets system, but they don't have the aura that he has. I think the Mets will keep him on the big league roster if he can get his average up by 30 points.
