Tim Tebow assigned by Mets to Class A ball [View all]
Makes sense. He might have a degree of success at that level and he will be a draw based on his name recognition.
Tim Tebow will begin his professional baseball journey in 2017 with the New York Mets' Class A team in Columbia, South Carolina.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner was told Monday that he will be assigned to the Columbia Fireflies, the Mets' affiliate in the South Atlantic League.
"Sending him to a full-season club is what we hoped to be able to do," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson told Newsday. "And based on what he's done in spring training, and his whole body of work since last fall, we feel comfortable with him going to Columbia."
Tebow is hitting .235 (4-for-17) in six games for the Mets in spring training, entering Monday's Grapefruit League play. The Mets have been playing him in the outfield.

If he weren't Tebow, with similar stats would he even make a single A roster?

Timmy has to hit the ball first. He's presently in a minor slump, batting a measly .174, BUT...
