Tim Tebow's season is over

He also had a very good .988 fielding %.

His 2nd year growth was almost certainly going to lead to a September call up. Instead, his season ends with a broken bone in his right hand.

He will have a tough time making impact in MLB with this setback. 

Plus his numbers are just average for a 30 year old minor league player. 

He has picked up pace over last 5 weeks before injury but was not on verge of call up before this hot streak.

His slugging percentage is pedestrian and is only on pace for about 15 HR's if playing full minor league season. 

The Kid they have up there now Nimmo could very easily turn into a great one. Plus the kid they just drafted out of HS is a solid hitter and will move swiftly through their system. Want to say Kelenic is his name. 

Tebow's fielding percentage is great though and would have helped. But this setback coupled with his age is not good for his chances. 

In my fantasy league we carry 8 minor league players which totals 96 and Tebow was a FA even before injury.

Really like the kid though and hope he succeeds but think he should have switched positions and stayed in NFL.
