I said in a previous post that Zimmerman is a stud defensively. I'm not disparaging him as a player at all...but he's not in the same class as Wright offensively unless he consistently does what he did last year. Wright had nos. (better actually) like Zimmeran's '09 from '05-'08.

I'm assuming (as are virtually 100% of baseball fans) that Wright's 2009 season was an aberration. If that's the case...his offensive numbers from their side-by-side years blow Zimmerman's out of the water.
