Can we just end the Tim Tebow experiment?

It’s been long enough now. It’s time to move past the gimmick.

I’m not going to bash Tim Tebow for not quitting on his dream of playing in the MLB. If anything, this is on the Mets, who continue to let Tebow be a part of their roster despite his poor overall body of work.

Tebow was asked about his hope to play in the MLB one day.

“That would obviously be something that would be special, and I think another part of the dream,” Tebow said via ESPN. “Part of it’s just playing every day and enjoying it and competing, which I love. Obviously, that would be awesome. It would be a lie if I said that wouldn’t be super cool. … But I wouldn’t say it would be a success or failure if that did or did not happen.”

This is probably the last chance Tim Tebow has to prove that he’s anything more than a sideshow act in a big league uniform. I’ll be rooting for the guy, but I’m not sure a baseball career is in the works for Tebow.
