Denver Sports Omelette: Jose Canseco to Tim Tebow: “You can hit 40 home runs … if you let me help you”

During Jose Canseco’s career, the former major leaguer clobbered 462 home runs over 17 seasons — albeit part of it due to his admitted use of anabolic steroids. But now, he says he can help former Broncos quarterback-turned-Mets outfield prospect Tim Tebow become a power hitter.

“He’s extremely strong, extremely physical,” Canseco said to TMZ. “… I can easily get him up to 35 to 45 home runs (at the MLB level). At the AAA level, he could hit 50.”

Canseco reaffirmed his claim on Tuesday.

“If I can hit a softball 500 feet at the age of 55 you can hit 40 home runs in the major leagues,” he tweeted, “if you let me help you yes I’m talking to you Tim Tebow.
