Tim Tebow passes Michael Jordan on minor-league HR list

This site covers it all.

No Te-Bow? Sort of disappointing. Surely that would be a fan favorite.

The guy could be converted to a Cy Young award winning pitcher, no doubt about it!

his throwing accuracy?

Would that matter in baseball? (I'm a football fan - never been able to watch much "grass growing" games like baseball and golf)

Timmy would be a shoe-in for the Steve Dalkowski award, right behind Nuke Laloosh.

What with his hitting stalled around .220, perhaps he should be fitted for glasses and sent to the mound.

a Brother Buzz response. You have been summoned! You cannot resist the lure of a Tim Tebow thread!

Jae-Gyun Hwang's FIRST hit in MLB was a go ahead home run.

Jae-gyun Hwang was called up on Wednesday, and he was immediately put into the lineup at third base. While he got an RBI on a fielder’s choice, he was still hitless when he came up in the sixth inning.

He's not hitless anymore.

that Hwang has devoted the last 15 years of his life to the sport of baseball. Not so for Mr. Tebow, just to keep matters in perspective.

I will be curious to see how Timmy does against triple A pitchers if he gets called up, and to see if Hwang gets sent back to Sacramento now that he's locked into his contract and can't opt out. Hwang needs to learn that sometimes a base on balls is better then aiming for the fence; he hasn't walked once this year. To his credit, he's retired his patented 'bat flip', and has adopted a classy 'mic drop' instead.

I think he got promoted to High A. He was basically in an instructional league before.

That said, this is still a ridiculous publicity stunt. He's still hitting homers off guys who will never see a major league game without buying their own ticket to get in.

I heard Timmy got promoted in the Mets farm system, and only assumed the St. Lucie Mets was a step up to Double A. I never heard of High A baseball until now:

Class A-Advanced

One level below Double-A, the California League, Carolina League, and the Florida State League play at the Class A-Advanced level, also known as "Class A+" or "High A".[4] This is often a second or third promotion for a minor league player, although a few high first-round draftees, particularly those with college experience, begin at this level. These leagues play a complete season like Triple-A and Double-A, April through early September. Many of the teams in the Florida State League are owned by major league parent clubs and use their spring training complexes. The class consists of 30 teams from around the United States, from San Jose to Tampa.

That being said, all MLB farm teams are instructional.

But, the league he was in was actually designated instructional. The Cubs instructional league is where guys go when they've got obvious major league abilities but bad mechanics. Hitting or pitching. Get them straightened out before they hurt themselves or ingrain a flawed swing that at the MLB level would result in K after K. Once those pitchers know you're weakness, you're dead meat.

That said, i don't remember many Cubs players making the bigs after playing for the I league team.
