Yankees 2015 Roster Report Card: Slade Heathcott

The Yankees had high hopes for Slade Heathcott when they selected him as their number one draft pick back in 2009, but he never really lived up to the hype after being derailed by injury after injury. It started with shoulder surgery in 2010, then he had to have a second shoulder surgery which cut his 2011 season short.
