Zimmerman vs Gordon

which 3B will put up the better numbers and what will they be.
Zimmerman is going to be an MVP candidate this year. The Nationals are moving to a new park that is more offensive-friendly, too.
He should be good for .280, 30 HR, 100 R, 100 RBI and 5-ish steals, but I think he's also got the potential to go crazy and hit .310 with 40 HR and 120 R and 120 RBI and really cement himself among the elite 3B in baseball next to Wright, Rodriguez and Cabrera. I don't think you see Gordon above .270, 20-25 HR, 75 R, 75 RBI, but he might steal 15-20 bags.
Basically Zimmerman is gonna beat him in every category except steals.
