Just kidding, he's doing as bad as you expect. .161 average so far. Triple A is a big jump from double. Tebow stats |

Looks like Ichiro compared to Chris Davis.

Pete Alonso, on the other hand, is awesome! .339/.418/.763 with 6 HR and 17 RBI, 13 total XBH through his first 59 major league ABs. The best part, for the seasoned viewer, is how he's not actually swinging for the fences and with runners on and 2 strikes, he's shortening his swing and trying to punch the ball up the middle or to the opposite field. A great approach for a young hitter and he's proving the impossible - the Mets are capable of making a good decision!

That production may eventually still can help the Mets as they begin to slide as in most years in the second half.

I was searching for a pic of Tim Tebow and Pennywise (get it, Tebow killing It?) but came up empty. I found this, though.  |

I was preparing for another disappointment by being pessimistic. Except for 2015, almost every year was like that since 2006.

Looks like Ichiro compared to Chris Davis. But Chris Davis has performed at a high level in the Majors before. He may suck now but he's done something. Tebow has shown absolutely nothing that he deserves to be in double A let alone triple A (and certainly not the Majors) outside his jersey sales.

There has to be some pro sport that he can play where effort and determination are all that's needed and skill, athleticism, etc. don't matter.

The PCL (Professional Cornhole League) Is that a real league?? That would be awesome! Although to be fair, a good technique in cornhole can make all the difference.

Just kidding, he's doing as bad as you expect. .161 average so far. Triple A is a big jump from double. Tebow statsAnd the majors is a monumental step from AAA. In AAA you might face a MLB caliber pitcher 50 - 75% of your AB's. While that might sound like a lot, those pitchers are journeymen, for the most part. In the majors, you are facing MLB caliber pitchers 100% of the time and you are seeing stuff that you have never seen before. So if you can't hit International League pitching, there is no way you can hit National League pitching. I could sit here from now to Halloween naming players who put up monster numbers in AAA and fell flat in the majors. Will the Mets bring him up anyway if he doesn't raise his average? Doubt it. Yeah, it would put asses in seats and sell merchandise, but do the Mets waste a 40 man roster spot for that?

If they're playing well and at least in a spot to contend for a playoff spot, there is no way in hell it happens. Zero chance. If they have another June swoon and get destroyed by injuries, then I still find it unlikely but not impossible, at least for a September call-up just to make a few extra bucks. Remember, this is a team that kept the sub-replacement caliber Jose Reyes around all of last year just so they could have him and David Wright manning the same infield together again for 15 innings in September.

I sincerely hope if they tried the commissioner would show some balls and stop it.

You have to dump a semi useful player for a .161 hitter just to sell aa few jerseys I meant to include in my answer the natural qualification that he was hitting well enough to maybe earn such a bump. If he's hitting .161, then there's zero chance. The backlash wouldn't be worth the cash grab. But if he's hitting, I dunno, .250 and the Mets are 15 games under, staring up at 5 teams ahead of them in the WC standings, they've certainly done dumber things. On Opening Day in 2014 (give or take a year), they fucking leased their main parking lot out to the circus. This was back when they were just climbing out of the doldrums but their only guaranteed sellouts on the year were Opening Day, and the games against the Yankees. So you have 45,000 fans showing up on a cold, snowy April day and most of them have to walk an extra mile because the parking lot is closed. The Mets in a nutshell.
