Don Draper will soon be drinking even more.
Manager Terry Collins said during the baseball winter meetings that he wants converted quarterback Tim Tebow to play some spring training games with the Mets.
“I certainly hope we’ll see Tim Tebow in some of our games,” Collins said Tuesday, via USA Today. “If he’s not in our camp, I’ll get him over.”
While Collins didn’t go full Thom Brennaman about Tebow, Collins is a believer.
“He’s not into himself,” Collins said. “He’s into being a teammate. A tremendous teammate. He’s won wherever he’s been.”
So winning as a football player is apparently transferable to baseball, a sport in which Tebow batted .194 in 19 games with the Arizona Fall League. Well, it’s transferable if by “winning” Collins means “selling more tickets and jerseys and other things to people who want to see Tebow play baseball.”
If by “winning” Collins means winning baseball games, he’ll surely have better options than Tim Tebow.
