PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Tim Tebow knows he can still improve on everything.

Given his numbers, that’s obvious.

If he’s the world’s most popular minor league .220 hitter, that’s just fine with the new left fielder for the St. Lucie Mets. Called up to the New York Mets‘ advanced Class A affiliate in the Florida State League earlier this week, Tebow was batting eighth for his debut with his new club Tuesday — and is expected to be an everyday player for however long he’s with the club.
