Wow I Wonder if he can really pull a Bo Jackson move here.

I don't see anything coming of it. It takes players who have been playing baseball full time all of their lives 3-4 years at least of playing in the minors before they're major league ready. I just don't see it happening. If it wasn't for his name I don't think he would've even gotten a look.

Agreed.  I am just happy that the Braves did not sign him.

Umm Somehow Deion Sanders is the only one so far who won both a Super Bowl and a World Series.

But Tebow is more questionable.

Well seeing as he hasn't won a Super Bowl yet, and his NFL career appears to be over...

Wait what. I saw someone saying something about this earlier and assumed it was a joke.

It's cheap and doesn't take a roster spot. It's similar to Michael Jordan.

Deion Sanders only appeared once in the World Series, for the Braves in 1992, who lost to the Blue Jays. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sandede02.shtml
