Left-hander Ted Lilly is expected to decide in the next few weeks whether to retire or try to pitch again following a recent neck operation to relieve pressure on his spine. Ric... Jackson Womens Jersey Elite . Agent Larry OBrien said Wednesday that Lilly had yet to make a final decision regarding his baseball future and would return from playing winter ball, then sit down and ponder whats next. "We have not confirmed anything yet about his retiring and we wont be able to for a couple of weeks," OBrien said while noting the speculation that Lillys career is over. "Hes going to come home and re-evaluate." The lefty, who turns 38 in January, was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 25. He was limited to 13 starts the past two seasons for Los Angeles because of injury problems, going 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five 2013 starts. After seeing a spine specialist this fall in Los Angeles and undergoing surgery to cauterize the nerve endings in the right side of his neck, OBrien said his client experienced "some issues" while pitching at winter ball in Venezuela. "They were locking up every time he threw and the next day he couldnt move his neck," OBrien said. A two-time All-Star, Lilly -- full name Theodore Roosevelt Lilly -- is 130-113 with a 4.14 ERA in parts of 15 major league seasons with 331 starts and 356 total appearances. He pitched for Montreal, Oakland, Toronto, the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Dodgers. The San Francisco Giants considered signing Lilly to a minor league contract in early August but assistant general manager Bobby Evans said "upon reviewing Ted Lillys medical history" they would hold off on the acquisition.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals, one of two NFL teams still looking for a head coach, have interviewed Seattle Seahawks offensive co-ordinator Darrell Bevell and plan to talk to Indianapolis Colts offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians. Bevell, 43, was interviewed on Wednesday at Cardinals headquarters. He was the fifth known candidate to interview for the job vacated when the team fired Ken Whisenhunt the day after the season ended. Multiple reports had Arians arriving on Wednesday night with the interview set to be conducted on Thursday. Arians, a finalist for the Chicago job that went to Marc Trestman on Wednesday, is running out of options if he wants to be a head coach next season as positions were filled in rapid succession on Wednesday, leaving only the Arizona and Jacksonville jobs still open. Arians spent 12 games as interim head coach in Indianapolis while coach Chuck Pagano was treated for leukemia. The Colts went 9-3 in those dozen games with Arians in charge. He succeeded Whisenhunt as offensive co-ordinator in Pittsburgh and was there for five seasons before leaving to go to the Colts and their new rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. Arians also was head coach at Temple for five years. Of the others who interviewed with the Cardinals, one is off the market. Mike McCoy, Denvers offensive co-ordinator, took the head coaching job in San Diego earlier this week. The Cardinals also interviewed their defensive co-ordinator Ray Horton, Cincinnati Bengals offensive co-ordinator Jay Gruden and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley. Bevell, who grew up in nearby Scottsdale and played for Chaparral High, has a career of working with successful quarterbacks, including Seattles rookie sensation Russell Wilson. If he got the Arizona job, hed be trying to repair the worst quarterback situation in the league. Arizona started four people at the position and the only one who had any success, Kevin Kolb, went down to a season-ending injury in Week 6. "I was real fortunate to start my career with a great quarterback in Brett Favre," Bevell said after his interview, "but there were a lot of other guys along the way that I was able to work with, whether it was in college or in the positions that Ive had after that. ... "It doesnt matter if its the quarterback, your tight end, your running back, what do they do well? We want to accentuate those positives, and the things that they dont do as well. We need to cover those up and make their strengths come out. Thats what Ive tried to do." He said the Seahawks "just loved" Willson from the start. Buffalo Bills Jersey. "We loved his intangibles, loved how he played the game, how important it was to him, his belief system that he had in himself and that he was going to always be successful," Bevell said, "but then it was my job to figure out what he did well." Bevell said that from the first game against Arizona, which the Seahawks lost, to the last spectacular performance in the close loss at Atlanta last weekend "we evolved and we changed." "It was all changing to do what was best for him, but then also to do what was best for the other guys that are around him to help them all be successful." Along the way, the Seahawks beat Arizona 58-0 in Seattle. He was asked why he would be a good fit with the Cardinals. "Ive had the opportunity the last two years to be in this division," Bevell said. "Ive also spent a long time in the NFC North, and Ive just really been an NFC coach all along. So I do know a little more about it." He also knows the Phoenix area, for sure. "Its also exciting because its my hometown," Bevell said. "Its where I grew up. Ive got a lot of friends, and obviously my whole family still lives here, so I think thats an attraction for me as well." After leaving high school, Bevell was a redshirt freshman quarterback at Northern Arizona, then went on a two-year Mormon mission before enrolling at Wisconsin -- the same school where Russell excelled -- and quarterbacked the Badgers to a Rose Bowl victory over UCLA. Bevell, who also interviewed for the Bears job, said he only knows the Cardinals quarterback problems from afar. "I know its been a tough situation," he said. "There have been quarterbacks, kind of this last year particularly, coming in and out, playing four guys. There have been injuries. There have been all kinds of different reasons. But that will be, if something happens that Im the head coach, that will be something that weve got to rectify, got to figure it out, what the best thing will be for the Arizona Cardinals and be able to go from there." He does, after all, have that experience dealing with quarterbacks. "Ive definitely been schooled in that," Bevell said. "We had some crazy situations going on, particularly with Brett and how those situations came about. So I do have some experience in that area. Obviously, I truly believe that so goes the quarterback, so goes your team." Bevell was offensive co-ordinator of the Minnesota Vikings for five seasons before joining Pete Carroll in Seattle in 2011. ' ' '
