Defensively by far. It isn't even a competition. Only guy who has a better UZR/150 and not by much is Adrian Beltre who is regarded as the best defensive 3rd baseman in the game.

And offensively he can be compared with arguably more power production.

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.

lol @ bringing up Pujols. Pujols is rated higher than A-Rod overall. stop whining.

Yeah because the playoffs with the max. 19 games sample size really matter compared to a 162 games season.
That's also a reason why all the talks of Arod being unclutch in the playoffs are BS. There aren't clutch and unclutch hitters, there are good and bad hitters.

I just noticed your edited your post and I just gonna say that much. Talk to anyone that knows more about baseball than you and he will tell you that the playoffs aren't a good way to evaluate a player.

To make it easier for you to understand I will add the following words:
lmao ; lol

There is such a thing as clutch and unclutch.

If players performance drops when the pressure is on and they need to come through "in the clutch", because they think about things too much... What is that called again?

Just like players that thrice when the pressure is on. There are words to define those.
