I'm conflicted over whether Horton should get a new contract or even an extension.   After Stanford swept the Ducks at PK Park in late April and then woeful WSU took two-of-three from UO in Pullman I  considered not renewing my baseball season tickets for 2018.   The years of  Oregon still trying--mostly in vain--to win with Horton's "small ball" were taking a toll.   But I will renew regardless if Horton gets more time or if a new coach and staff are brought aboard.  

Horton has had decently ranked recruiting classes of late,   But no matter how highly touted, it seems no Horton recruit arrives with power or develops into a good hitter.   Horton bringing in Jason Dietrich to handle UO's pitchers this year was a good move, but offensively the team was again a mish-mash of wasted opportunities in too many games. 

Regardless of what happens with Horton at the end of this season he will be fondly remembered as the man who quickly built the Ducks program.
