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.

You're correct, I had my dates wrong, but that still has nothing to do with his talent level. It had everything to do with his sign-ability. He was going pro in football. Just as he was drafted in the 13th round out of high school, not based on his talent, but based on the fact that he was going play football at LSU. Had he not already committed to football out of high school he would have been drafted much higher in the MLB draft.
