    Player Missed Most in 2013

    Who will be missed most by their team in 2013?
    Josh Hamilton by Texas
    R.A. Dickey by the Mets
    Chipper Jones by Atlanta

    Sure Chipper is a bona fide HOF'er but does that make him the obvious answer?

    Or is there another player I left off, like A.J Pierzynski by the White Sox?

    Well, if you mean by who's production will be harder to replace, it's got to be Hamilton with Texas. As much flak as he took, he was still hitting 40 homers and driving in 100+ runs each year for a contending team.

    Chipper is the best player of those 3, but he was at a point in his career where his production had really tailed off and will be easily replaced. What won't be replaced is his leadership in the clubhouse.

      In terms of actual value, it's Hamilton and it's not even close.

      But then again, I value everyday players more than pitchers and yes, I know Dickey had a better WAR last year.

        I'll go anyone that the Rangers lost. Hamilton, Napoli, Young, or Mike Adams. However, I'm fine with where Napoli ended up if a deal ever gets done.

          As a Rangers fan, I will miss the HRs by Hamilton but not his strikeouts in key situations...I will not miss Michael Young at all though..

            Probably Dickey, although they did seem to get a good haul for him.

              This, and let's not forget that most of those home runs came early in the season when he wasn't wiffing at everything. When he's on, he's unstoppable but that's when God isn't punishing him or something.

              Looking at the three players listed, I think that none of those teams are going to miss those players too much.

                Chipper. Mostly off the field.

                  No question Texas is going to miss Hamilton the most.

                  The Mets sucked with Dickey as their #1 one guy and honestly, they have probably the poorest roster in MLB right now so even if he was still there it wouldn't matter a hell of a lot.

                  Chipper's production while still pretty good the last couple years wasn't so amazing that it can't be made up but he was clubhouse leader and the heart and soul of that team. It's going to take quite a while for another person of that ilk to fill the vacuum.

                    Young? As in Michael Young? The same Michael Young who was one of the worst players in baseball last year? Yeah, he won't be missed.

                      Well I'll personally miss him. Sure he was bad, but he was a pretty good guy. Performance-wise, no. Presence-wise, yes. To me at least.

                          This isnt a very good poll. I dont think any of the teams are really gonna miss them.
                          MLB: Texas Rangers
                          Soccer: FC Dallas, Fleetwood Town
                          NCAA: SMU, UTA
                          NFL: Dallas Cowboys
                          NHL: Dallas Stars
                          NBA: Dallas Mavericks

                            By missed, do you mean like production wise, or just presence wise? Cause Chipper presence wise would be huge for Braves. A regular since 1995!

                              Fair enough.

                              Either, production or presence.
                              I think the Braves will miss Chipper's presence more than the Mets will miss
                              Dickey's numbers, same for the Rangers & Hamilton.
