They could always ask Tim Tebow to come and help. He would put a lot of people in the seats.
No! He's too controversial. Plus, who needs the circus he would bring - fans, fan talk, media coverage, auxiliary sales, and last minute heroics. All bad, they say.
Just an aside:
Tim Tebow, Arizona Fall League: 12 for 62, 3 doubles, 2 RBI, 8 BB, 20 SO, 1 for 3 stolen base attempts, below average defense.
Those numbers actually aren’t that bad for a non-prospect, but he’s at least a couple years away from the majors.
