Druw Jones is the same age that Jake Cook is now (younger, even). There's a very high chance as things stand that Cook can't even make it past AA.

I’d say both of them will make the league in some capacity just because 4th outfielders are useful, especially with speed and defense. But yea, the chances of him like being valuable… I dunno. I don’t know if I believe age to level ALWAYS especially when he really hasn’t been in pro ball much yet but we’ll see how it goes.

I think bigger picture I’m liking the type of guys we are drafting. At the end of the day you kind of need to draft or trade for CFs. There aren’t many in free agency who are above average there, I’m happy we are getting some athletes.

Cook has one of the wider ranges of potential incomes I can recall in recent memory. Of course he could flame out completely but there are several pathways to reaching MLB. He's already reportedly a plus plus center field defender with 80 grade speed and he's made strides with his baserunning. It's a pretty low offensive bar that he'll be required to reach to at least earn a cup of coffee as a 5th outfielder/pinch runner type of player. If he reverts to the slap hitting style he employed in college this could open the door to more of a 4th outfielder role potentially in a platoon if this clicks and perhaps even a low end starter's role, and if the new approach clicks to any degree the guy has various degrees of star potential.
