SO I guess the conversation in the Brewers office went something like this...
"Hey let's draft this guy with no leg so he can come play single A ball for us"

Not to call you out but the draft was three weeks before his car crash. Also, he went in the 50th round at pick# 1509... Obviously they knew he was going to the nfl. Still, a few tigers who were studs at LSU are still in AA ball 3-4 years after leaving, all of which are more natural baseball players than Jones (Dean-retired, schimpf- might be moving to AAA soon, ochinko- AA, Gibbs- AA). Tough to say how he would do, a few years removed, jumping straight into facing all guys who are professional baseball players. Don't forget, a lot of all conference players are relegated to rookie level and A- ball.

Either way, this guy is one of the most loved tigers, and I'd love to see him back in Louisiana. I will never forget hearing his hit in the Arkansas game and watching Adams' helmet flying. Any thoughts of how he'd fit as a 3-4 lb in the new system?
