Trade Manny for Hamilton? What?

I live in the northeast and commute by train. Yesterday on the train, some Red Sox fan had the brilliant idea of trading Manny to the Rangers for Josh Hamilton. I'm not a baseball GM, but I'm pretty sure there is at least one good reason the Rangers wouldn't make this trade.
As a Rangers fan, I just laughed at their pipe dream and informed them Hamilton does not know how to do an Irish jig. More than likely, being the beast he is, Hamilton would eat anyone doing an Irish jig.

hate this time of year
You should have told him that the Rangers have a great lefty reliever that Rangers would be willing to talk about.

That's funny
Sure, we’ll do that deal. Just as long as Papelbon and Buchholz also come back in the trade, and Boston eats half of Manny’s contract.

Hmm..
.. I wonder if Hamilton is enough to get Manny.. I mean Manny has like 500+ career HRs and Hamilton doesn’t even have 100!!! We should probably throw in Chris Davis, Neftali Feliz and Eric Hurley just to make it even.. oh and we’ll give them CJ, but they need to include a 33-year-old AAA reliever to balance it out.

This is stupid
What a moron that guy must have been to even suggest such a trade.

I would trade Young for Manny, though
If we’re paying around $20M a year for one player, I’d much rather it be Manny than MY.

Well
you would make that move because you are a complete moron. I love how MY signs a big contract and most people on here change their tune about the guy.

A shortstop who can't play shortstop and can't hit like a 3B
Yeah, that’s a great fucking investment.
Get off MY(and by extension Tom Hicks)’s dick.

where are all of these MY defenders coming from of late?
His OPS+ the last few years has been good, not great (105-115), and his fielding is atrocious. Plus, he’ll now be one of the most overpaid players in baseball next year.
MY won’t be traded because of his no-trade clause and because of the PR backlash that all of you jackasses would rain down upon JD, but if I were JD, I’d move him (if he agreed to it), and I’d give all of you the finger while doing so.

Trading Hamilton for Manny Ramirez.
That is the single dumbest thing I’ve heard. About anything. Ever.
Hamilton = 29 y/o
Ramirez = 36 y/o
Hamilton = awesome
Ramirez = annoying
Hamilton = immortal
Ramirez = mortal
Hamilton = a tiger stalking his prey
Ramirez = the prey

Isn't Josh
27? not 29…

Red Sox fans ...
... may get it wrong, but boston.com did a photo gallery of people to trade for Manny, and I thought it was pretty funny. They actually lament having given away David Murphy now, because he would have been the perfect replacement.

they can have Hamilton
as long as the other names coming back with Manny are Buchholz and Lester. Otherwise no thank you.
