    If you are looking for actual reactions from Timbers fans about Horst, you are on the wrong website. Here's a link to the article where Timbers fans will mostly be doing their partisan commenting on the specific move with Houston:

    There are other articles on that site about when he was waived and his appreciation thread which should give you an idea of how he was perceived by Timbers fans while here.

    My basic thoughts: He was a good defender, and I rather liked him, but he seemed to get injured a lot. Also, while he was good, the Timbers have a lot of people at that position due to the insane amount of injuries there this year, and that means they had to dump some players in order to increase depth elsewhere.
