You are wrong my friend. In the late rounds some picks go to fill out rosters, and some go to long term long shot MLB propects that have some other reason to not sign, e.g. going play in the NFL.

First off, as has be en pointed out already, the Brewers drafted Jones before his accident. And, as I posted before, a statistically insignificant number of players drafted in the 50th round make it to the bigs. Most of the players that do we're actually drafted twice, the second time being selected much higher ie. Buster Posey. And I doubt any of them almost lost their leg.

I hope for the best for CJ. If he never makes it an active roster, it'd be great for him to at least make a practice squad, because he'll make more money doing that than he ever will playing baseball.
