Well, considering you're not focusing on perhaps two of the most important things concerning Wilkerson and Soriano. Wilkerson is a good center fielder...something the Rangers have desperately needed AND he's a leadoff man. Do you see his OBP? It's .365 before moving to a hitters friendly park.
Wilkerson is a lefty. With his pop, he'll probably hit 25-30 HR's, have a .370+ OBP, and hit .270+.
And yeah, he fields his position much better than Soriano does. I'm not saying that he's a better player, but he along with Galarraga PLUS the freed up cash should make this deal a good deal.
