Die Saalfelds » The 31-year-old Tebow hadn’t played since high school.

When Tim Tebow announced that he would play minor league baseball T.J. Hockenson Jersey , most people thought it was somewhere between a joke and a publicity stunt: It just wasn’t realistic to think he could amount to anything after so much time off.But Tebow, to an extent, proved the doubters wrong. Although he was far from the best player in Double-A baseball last year, he was at least respectable, and looked like a legitimate baseball player. This was no publicity stunt.Unfortunately, Tebow has moved up to Triple-A this year, and the early returns are ugly.The stats for the Syracuse Mets, Tebow’s team Justice Hill Jersey , tell the story. He’s last on the team with a .120 batting average, last with a .185 on-base percentage and last with a .200 slugging percentage. He has struck out a team-high 10 times and hasn’t hit a home run.“He’s still learning how to hit some of this pitching,” Syracuse manager Tony DeFrancesco told ESPN. “I mean, these guys are throwing 97, 98 miles per hour. They’re spinning the baseball. He’s making some adjustments.”A 31-year-old minor leaguer who’s “still learning” wouldn’t last if he weren’t Tim Tebow, so there’s no doubt that the Mets organization is giving him a longer leash than it would most players. But he’s going to have to learn soon, or else his hopes of making it to the majors will go from slim to none. At a time when teams routinely cut players, the Dolphins cut offensive line coach Pat Flaherty. It sounds like the decision was less about Flaherty and more about his replacement http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/ben-powers-jersey-cheap , former Colts offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo.Coach Brian Flores explained the decision to reporters on Tuesday. Via Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com, Flores said, “We felt like we needed to make that move. . . There was no one specific incident. At the end of the day, I felt like [DeGuglielmo] would be a better fit.”Although the move could be viewed as a sign of lingering Dolphins dysfunction, a decision to move quickly to improve a key position is much better than treading water.“I think I’m always going to do what’s in the best interests of the Miami Dolphins,” Flores said, via Adam H. Beasley of the . “The easy decision would have been to do nothing and hope it gets better.”Flaherty, 63 Iman Marshall Jersey , will be paid for this season, and for the balance of his contract. It’s a small price to pay for Flores to get the coaching staff where he wants it to be. For coaches hired late in the cycle, compiling the best possible staff is always a challenge. Clearly, Flores is doing what he can to craft a group of assistant coaches who are the best suited to implement his preferred offense and defense.
