Matt Sweeney Angels

MAtt Sweeney put up good numbers as a 19 year old in Low A ball in 2007. IN 485 at bats he hit 18 homers with 38 walks and only 88 strikeouts. He had an ISOP of .198 which isn't to bad for a 19 year old in A ball. HE was out for 2008 with a leg problem I believe. He has come back in 2009 without missing a step and actually showing better plate presence. Thru 146 plate appearances in High A, he has 5 home runs and 15 walks with only 18 Strikeouts and a .523 SLG.. He wasn't on anyones top prospect list coming into the season. Safe to say this guy could be in a top 100 after the season? Heard he may have some make up concerns, any truth to this?

thanks

I follow the Angels closely

and have never read anything negative about his make-up.

FWIW, Keith Law watched him during spring training, was very impressed w/ his bat, and listed him as one of his sleepers to watch. On the downside, Sweeney can’t field his position at third and will eventually have to be moved to first.
