2009 and age 25. Horton is still 2nd on the depth chart to Mackowiak with no platoon set up.
4/3 ... 1st start/game, 3-5, 2 RBI and first reg. season HR
4/8 ... 2nd start, 3-4 RBI
4/10 ... 3rd start, 0-4 ... only 4 more starts from now until trade deadline (3 in Aug. and I believe 2 in Sept.)
Minnesota went 91-71 to win the division but were beaten in 5 games by the Blue Jays. Horton made an appearance in game 3 for a walk and that was it.
At age 25, Horton was starting to get restless. "I'm really looking to work hard in the offseason and spring to change my future. Even if I'm not a full-time starter, I really want to contribute and hopefully be a part of a championship here." Unfortunately, the scouting report has degraded the fielding skills and emphasized the lack of consistency. What happens next?
