You're a Tebow fan. That's totally fine. The premise of this thread was why some people aren't Tebow fans. I am expressing why I think people aren't Tebow fans. I don't think Adam Greenberg plays a role in people's opinion on Tebow.

Im not a Tebow fan. It appears you are a Adam Greenberg fan. I do think Adam Greenberg is an issue that is brought up in a general discussion about 'what players shouldnt be paying in spring training or regular season games'

YOu cant say a guy doesnt belong in a spring training game and say that never happens when you have a guy like greenberg playing in a major league real game. There are many other arguments as well with other players.

If you are saying that people shouldnt play in spring training games because people dont like them and not commenting about their actual ability, then the comparisons dont matter but i think ability is part of the equation here.

I'm not talking about spring training games at all. I'm talking about Tebow getting the chance to play for a minor league team. He's not just playing in spring training. He will be joining a roster after spring training and will appear in minor league games just as he appeared in the AFL, where he batted 173 and struck out 33 times in 33 games.

He could suck but not sure why citing stats for a 33 game sample size for a guy out of baseball for 10 years. Michael Jordan was horrid as well early on but did improve but he still had no business being in the minors and he was 31 not 29. Michael hit .202 and had 114 ks in 127 games which is 4x the sample size.
