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.

The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in.Jonny Bairstow says England must believe they can salvage at least a draw from the second Test after ending day three 298 runs behind India. The wicketkeeper-batsman put on 110 with Ben Stokes but the tourists still conceded a 200-run, first-innings deficit which India swelled by scoring 98-3 before the close - Virat Kohli leading the way with 56 not out.Bairstow told Sky Sports that England - who will have Stuart Broad available to bowl for the rest of the match despite a strained tendon in the seamers foot - must battle on. The best of the action from day three in Visakhapatnam As long as we keep playing straight, and have belief and confidence in our ability, then it wont be the first time that weve had to bat a period of time on a pitch that is worse than that, said Bairstow.If it starts turning weve come from Bangladesh where the pitches have turned a lot too. Its going to be tough to face the music but at the same time we know we have the capabilities and guys that have scored runs in the sub continent to do that.It was only last week that we scored 500-odd on a pitch not too dissimilar to that. Its going to be a challenge, but why not enjoy that challenge. Ian Ward and Nasser Hussain discuss Stuart Broads injury and consider Englands bowling options Broad helped to limit the damage of Englands first innings by claiming 2-6 in Indias second innings before scan results showed that he has strained a tendon and one of the small joints in his right forefoot.ddddddddddddJames Anderson bowled in-form Cheteshwar Pujara for one to raise England hopes of restricting Indias advance and Bairstow says England must continue to create chances.I think at the start of the day getting to within 200 of them, having been five down, was a reasonable effort from us, he added.Then to take three early wickets was a good start. Tomorrow morning we come back, its 9.30 in the morning, hopefully we get something out of the pitch early on with the seamers and create a couple chances and then you just dont know. Its going to take a couple of special knocks, but the way Virat has gone out there and played tonight just shows you that runs are to be had and scored on this wicket.Bairstows day started in bizarre fashion as he tripped up as he walked to the wicket, forcing him to leave the field immediately for treatment before facing a ball.He reflected: My foot got stuck in the grass and I ended up looking a bit like an idiot to be honest with you, but it actually really hurt my knee. We cracked on and Stokes and I put on a nice partnership.Live coverage of the second Test between India and England from Visakhapatnam continues with day four, on Sky Sports 2 from 3.45am on Sunday.
