Along with writing for Yanks Go Yard, I also edit the FanSided Minor League Baseball site Grading on the Curve. I watch a LOT of minor leaguers. Heck, this past Thursday I watched the Tortugas take on the Marauders in Bradenton, Florida. Most of you just said, “huh?”
My point is, I have watched Slade Heathcott for a long time. I wrote last week how this was his last chance when after an embattled career with the New York Yankees farm system and he finally got his big league debut.
