He's not going to get into the HOF on his offensive stats, so he was not a better offensive player than Rolen and it doesn't seem like he was seen as the defender Rolen was either.

You are posting complier stats - not the mark of a dominant player. As to Rolen's one 1007 OPS season, You are cherry picking stats. Careerwise Wright had 5 900 OPS seasons to Rolen's 4. As I said earlier, I do not believe either player belongs in the Hall of Fame.
