Okay I'll call Buck Showalter. Let me just do that real quick. Hold on.

[Hugh]

Cool. I'll personally consult every manager in the league on what they would do like you asked yesterday. Hold on.

[manonfire101]

You're the one who made that claim, not me.

Congrats to ichiro, best pure hitter I've ever seen play.

[Hugh]

So Tim Tebow says he wants to play professional baseball.
I'm trying to can and I literally can't.

Next mike trout

Mike Trout might be able to play in the NFL.

Hey, if Jeff Francoeur can keep signing contracts, why not Tebow? From 2012 to 2015, Francoeur was 5.5 wins below replacement level, yet he's making $1,000,000 this year from the Braves.

Bahahahaha this.

Good point, but there are much better examples.
Consider Dustin Ackley.
Francoeur sucks, I'll give you that, but he's a superhero compared to Ackley. Francoeur has at least been decent at times. He won a Gold Glove.
Ackley has never been anything but ass. I've never seen a worse looking swing in my life. When he misses ( and he misses a lot ) it looks like he just threw his back out and dislocated both shoulders. Every time.
Did I mention he can't play defense? Can't play infield or outfield. No arm at all. The Mariners actually had him playing first base for a while and he couldn't even do that.
He can't steal either. He's fast, don't get me wrong, but he absolutely can't steal a base. He couldn't steal on a wild pitch from Stevie Wonder.
He's the worst big league player I have ever seen.
If he starts the season with the Yankees or any other big league team next year, they need to do a full blown investigation because something somewhere is seriously wrong.
