    People always joke about Jordan's baseball career, I thought what he did was very impressive. Hadn't played in like 15 years and he wasn't completely awful like people make him out to be

    “Tim’s got a chance,” House told FOX Sports. “But as far along as he is, pitch recognition is gonna be key. He’s gotta see a lot of pitches, a lot of pitches, so he can try and train his eyes to recognize what a curveball is and what a sinker is and what a slider is, so he can figure out what various pitches do. A good Major League pitcher throws three or four pitches that all look like fastballs, but they aren’t.”

    "He’s got stupid power,” House said.




    Of course, House noted that was against “dead-arm” BP pitching where the balls aren’t even coming in at 80 mph.

    But he had no swing. Looked awful, just like his golf swing.

    Not many 6'6" lanky guys are gonna have a good swing.

    He doesn't. As smooth as he was on the basketball course, he was jerky jerky in his golf swing. That thing was awful. His baseball swing was similar.

    It is also dangerous for a golfer to watch people like that. Shit gets in your head.

    I bet Charles Barkley has ruined many a golfers who accidentally saw him hit a golf ball.

    Shheeeiitt. I put him on a minor league team in some southern city and sell merchandise like vodka in Siberian winter.

    Oh the team he goes to might as well just getting a money printer and bank vault set up in their office.

    But he won't see any of that. From a minor league team's perspective, it makes sense. Somebody will sign him and throw him in the minors and see what happens. From his perspective, he won't make shit doing this.

    There's a lot of guys playing slow pitch now who could murder a baseball. Problem is they couldn't hit elite pitching at their level.

    He doesn't need to. All he needs to do is be Tebow and money will be made

    Oh, I'm confident he'll get a shot.

    He could see it. He can sign a contract that pays him on specific sales.

    They aren't celebrities and won't care if he pulls his weight.

    He won't sign for peanuts. If teammates don't recognize his influence over income, they should pack sand.
