and David Wright.
No way.

David Wright is a substantially superior defensive third baseman to A-Rod. Maybe not in 2008, but over the next 7 years or so DW should produce a lot more value than A-Rod.

2007 VORP
ARod 96.6
Wright 81.1
Surprised in looking at
2007 UZR data that Wright was not in top three 3B. Initially I thought for sure the defensive difference would be 15 runs. But regardless, Wright could definitely outproduce ARod in 2008 and I would personally rather have him than ARod on my team.
