I'm on the Tebow bandwagon

As a transplant Mets fan who lives in Florida, I've reluctantly had to watch this Tim Tebow fiasco for the past 2-3 seasons. He's in spring training, he played for Saint Lucie for a while. He has been everywhere. The places get sold out, all the girls scream when he bends over to put the donut on his bat. They mob him for autographs. It's a joke. I get the publicity and merchandise side of things. He has clearly paid for his salary tenfold already.
He started as the most atrocious player I had ever seen. Big long akward swing, couldn't cut the bases, broke the wrong way on flyballs, no baseball instincts what so ever. Then he started getting a little better. Noticed some plate disciple, he made a nice diving catch last year. He still sucked, just not as bad. I got to tell you though. I saw him today and he was hitting BOMBS. 450 foot bombs and lots of them.
So I'm thinking. He isn't going to hit for average. Will be a bad baserunner and fielder(has a strong arm obviously). But if he can draw walks and hit for power like I saw today, he might be a major league player. Not an all star or anything like that. More like a platoon/4th outfielder. So yeah, I'm now a believer that Tebow will get a cup of coffee at the major league level.
A side note. I got Jason Vargas autograph and accidently called him Jorge(Brooklyn has a CF named Jorge Vargas).
I also had brief conversation with Brodie Van Wagenen. It may or may not have had to do with the Cyclone. So steer clear of DeGrom and Syndergaard in fantasy leagues this season.
