Yes, without a doubt, the Halos will miss Darin Erstad, especially his locker room presense. How much? That remains to be seen.
They won't really miss his on the field play for he only appeared in forty games last season. Injuries began to pile up and he just wasn't the same and productive player that he used to be.
The team will definately need some players to step into the leadership role left by Erstad's departure. As an Angel, Erstad always led by example. He always played hard and preferred to make his point by how he played more than by what he said. However, he was also unafraid to speak his mind when the time was right. The Angels have been constant on the matter, saying that it won't be an issue. His presense will surely be missed, but expect veterans like Orlando Cabrera, Garrett Anderson, and John Lackey to fill the void left by Erstad.
