NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- Although the formal decision has not been made, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson foresees Tim Tebow being assigned to minor league camp during spring training.Tebow, a former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner with the?Florida Gators, nonetheless would be borrowed for occasional Grapefruit League games involving major leaguers. He then likely would break camp in April with a full-season minor league team, Alderson added Tuesday.Tebow, 29, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in September. He proceeded to hit .194 with three doubles, two RBIs and eight walks while striking out 20 times in 62 at-bats in the Arizona Fall League.?Tebow has also continued working as a college football analyst with ESPN.He was in the Arizona Fall League, but thats the only organized league hes ever participated in beyond high school, Alderson said. And we understand hes a little bit older, so that the process needs to accelerate at some point. But we still need to be prudent about it and put him in situations where he can succeed and not be viewed as, I was going to say, a circus animal. But thats probably not appropriate.Alderson indicated theres no compelling reason to have Tebow assigned to major league camp except for advertising purposes.We knew hed be overmatched in the Arizona Fall League. We also felt that he needed to play games, Alderson said. And so, as we look at going into spring training and his first full season, I think the same priorities would hold true -- he needs to play games. Under most circumstances that would mean, look, hes in minor league camp. Hes playing games every day. He comes over once in a while. And, at the end of camp, he goes to a full-season team. I think thats what we would foresee. Now, things could change based on how he performs or what have you.Although its not the apparent plan, manager Terry Collins said Tebow would be welcome if he were assigned to big-league camp for spring training.Were in New York. We can handle anybody with a name on his back in our camp, Collins said. If they decide to send him to camp, well get him better. I can tell you, I certainly hope you will see Tim Tebow in some of our games. ... I think hes a name in Florida. Hes a star in Florida. He should be. I think it would be fun to have Tim come over. And certainly one thing about our players, theyre athletes. Theyre fans, too. They would probably like to know how to run a quarterback sneak one day.Said Alderson: I think the fact that Terry said he would be welcome is indicative of sort of the impact hes had on the organization from a personal standpoint as much as a professional one. This is someone who already has had a positive influence within the clubhouse among his peers. Thats one of the benefits we anticipated. Its nice to know that hes the real deal.

That was more important, he said. This brought us back to the game that we love. And Im hoping it took some of that thought away from all of our guys. Its been a couple of days where thats all weve been talking about.BIG PICTURESan Diego Christian: After Sunday mornings accident in San Bernardino County, the Hawks had to wait for a replacement bus to arrive.
