's NFL career may be over (for now, anyway) but the former first Troy Brown Jr. Jersey -round pick hasn't given up on his profe sional sports dreams. It's why it was announced on Tuesday that Tebow, after a 10-year layoff, .Even the most optimistic fan would admit that Tebow faces long odds of realizing his latest dream, but that doesn't mean this won't devolve into a media circus in ensuing days, weeks and months. Which also means, among other things, that anyone with a connection to Tebow will be asked to weigh in on his latest career choice."I'll just say if you haven't played baseball for 10 years or however many years it's been, I don't know what the chances are. But if I was a double-A or single-A team, I'm signing him to get the ticket sales up," wideout, and Tebow's former teammate in Denver, said via 's Rich Cimini. "I'm sure he'll have succe s in that field. But as far as the skill aspect, I think hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things, so it'll be interesting to see his progre s."It was only a matter of hours before an independent league team offered Tebow a contract. And, perhaps, other offers will follow, more because Tebow will put butts in seats than because he has a chance in hell of every playing in the big leagues. Scout yesterday: Tim Tebow has a Michael Jordan Jersey 0% chance of making it in baseball. Scout today after seeing Tebow video hitting): Ok, he has a 1% shot.-- JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) Here's what a National League scout told about Tebow's baseball game:"He could have been a good player but everyone was well aware of him being a football player. He was a super competitive kid with right field tools. He just didn't play enough. Against better pitching he wasn't quite ready for it. All these years later, Jerian Grant Jersey I would be suspicious. What is someone going to see in a workout? He may hit some balls out of the park and run a good 60-yard dash. But you have to see him hit against very good Double-A or Triple-A pitching.""He was a kid who had talent that was easy to see. If he had committed to baseball he would have a chance to be a good baseball player. He was a little stiff. We don't see kids in high school very Otto Porter Jr. Jersey often who are that strong and that physical."But -- there's always a "but" -- the scout added: "I couldn't imagine there would be a happy ending to Tim Tebow's baseball career. But someone will probably sign the guy and give him a chance. If he was a pitcher, it's different. A good arm is a good arm. But he's lost 10 years in the batter's box." Tebow in the cage. Judge for yourself. You tell me if that swing gets past AA. -- BEAU BISHOP (@BeauBishop) So, , can Tebow do it? "Well, of course, he's gonna do it," Decker said. "Someone is going to sign him, I guarantee you that, because it's Tim Tebow and the fans will be coming to a Trevor Ariza Jersey baseball game with a football jersey on, selling tickets. I want to see what kind of player he is. I haven't seen him play baseball, but he's an athlete and works tremendously hard, so obviously he's going to put everything he has into it. We'll see."Decker's right about one thing: We will see. Because there's no way Tebow's foray into profe sional baseball isn't covered to death. (And yes, we know, we're part of the problem.)In related news, noted Tebow supporter CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco has some thoughts on this latest development: The best thing about Tebow's baseball announcement is how his fans think he's going to be Babe Ruth. Reality, folks.-- Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS)
