Watched him take 5 at bats today in a minor league spring training game - hit by pitch, strikeout, strikeout, weak grounder to third, struck out looking. He never squared up one pitch, and misplayed a ball badly in left field while taking terrible routes to others. He was clearly overmatched against guys almost a decade younger than he is. I'm not rooting for him to fail but he doesn't look like someone who will be able to make it out of A-ball. He was assigned to Class A Columbia in the South Atlantic League, and I have to believe some poor kid that is getting left behind in extended spring training is getting screwed over by Tebow occupying that roster spot.
