Could Jose Canseco help Tim Tebow crush dingers? (Reuters/Getty Images)
New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow apparently needs help with his swing -- and a former American League MVP thinks he could help him.
Jose Canseco, perhaps best known for his tell-all book about performance-enhancing drug use in the majors, took to Twitter to offer his services to Tebow – who is batting .222 and has a .522 OPS in four games during spring training.

“Tim Tebow let me help you with your swing I just saw one of your bats you have no rhythm right now and you're to rotational I will help you for free I'm a fan of yours,” Canseco wrote.
The 54-year-old former slugger went on to tell TMZ Sports he believes Tebow is “extremely strong” and he might be able to do well against right-handed pitchers.
“I could easily get him up to, at the major league level, 35 to 45 home runs,” he told the gossip website. “At the Triple-A level, he could hit 50.”
He added that all he would have to do is work on his “technique and his attitude.”
