Vlad is better than Manny defensively. However, Vlad is still not good defensively. Yes, he has the best arm in baseball, but beyond that, he's a pretty poor fielder.
Manny will hit more homers, drive in more runs, and probably hit for higher average than Vlad. Manny's surrounding players are better though the Expos currently have one of the best offenses in baseball and the guy hitting behind Manny is hitting about .150.
I say again, Manny will put up better hitting numbers than Vlad, though if I had to choose, I'd rather have Vlad.
