He was drafted in the MLB draft by the Brewers AFTER his car wreck. NOw, you think they would draft a player that was on his death bed and was probably never going to walk again, according to reports at the time, if he wasn't MLB caliber?
You do realize that only about 20 players drafted in the last round since 1965 have made it to the show, right? By that point, teams are drafting to fill out minor league rosters.
My guess is the Brew Crew drafted him because they felt it was a no lose situation. He may have had the talent, but until he goes out and does it, no one knows if he still has it.

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.
