Tedford would be amazing, but I think his next ticket is the NFL.

I don't think its been announced yet.

I agree. I think you could make a case for him being better then Meyer. But anything other then those two could be a huge failure for ND. Nieuheisel is out their but you wouldn't want to get rid of a classy guy like Tyrone for a guy whose last job was tainted in a scandal.

Seems like a solid move for both teams. Would anyone else mind seeing the sox picking up Marlon Byrd since it appears he's available.

Butch Davis has said he won't accept any coaching job for this upcoming year. But that could of been when he was speculating that the ND job wasn't available. Anyway if ND misses out on a big hire this will turn into a major botch. Still Whillingham was mediocre.

I guess we'll see what they do next. Could they snag Tommy Tubberville. Or what if Shanny gets outstered in Denver? I'd have to think Butch Davis will be the next head coach of the Irish. I just know one thing, ND is really getting screwed now two times in a row it seems in their head coach search. Also his Meyers dad told him if he wanted to win now accept the Florida job.

That explains it. I heard on the radio that ND offered him like 1.5 mill a year at the most. They were just too cheap to get him. :fyou

Just say no.

I've always liked them, always look nice, good power, and Jeep usually offers pretty good deals. But those 05's just look awesome. I love the Hemi engine.

Its gonna be hillarious.

Its actually been pretty damn cold out here on the left coast.

On the previous model jeeps the major problems I've always heard of typically are electrical type problems. Mainly just areas of the dash board going out, power seat problems, power window problems (this happens quite frequently), and problems with the radio. Luckily all are covered in the early stages. I think its mainly build problems but I know the engines are supposed to be pretty solid and I can't speak much on the tranny's. My uncles a mechanic and is always telling us the flaws of different cars, lol. But I think on the most part a lot of cars are going to have their flaws considering how many are built. Of course the Japanese Makers seem to really excell. .

They are coming out with the smaller H3 or whatever its called that doesn't look too bad. Its gonna be like 15,000 less.

Those look pretty badass. How you liking yours?

I sure as hell hope they weren't. I'd assume Butch Davis is the next person they focus their attention on. But ND needs to move quickly and needs to spend money otherwise they are risking a big butcher and this is coming from a person who was for the Whillingham ouster.

Beck I got to say I was interested in your idea of getting Baez cause I think he would be a good pickup. The only thing is I think the Sox like Willie and I can't see them giving up on him. They seem to like the idea of giving Uribe the backup job to fill in for both Crede and Willie and if one of them fails then he'll get all his at bats at that position. I got to admit, I'm starting to really like the idea of Edgar, even though I think 8 mill a year is too much for him. Its more that he can fill a need for the Sox and make them a lot better. The Sox can afford to sign him and Wright without making any moves. After those moves they still have voids behind the plate, in RF, and in the pen. You could technically deal Konerko, pick up a FA bat in RF and get a good reliever and more for him. The big question is what team would be interested in Konerko that has a reliever worth it, cause I do have a problem giving up Konerko for nothing in a sense. I don't know if the Sox will fill all the voids, but I know one thing, if they want to win they need to pickup a right fielder and add at least one more good reliever (on top of signing a guy like Wright and Edgar). And I mean a good reliever, not a project type guy. They can then live with Davis/Burke behind the plate and if they deal Konerko they can live with Gload, imo. Or you could always pick up a Tino Martinez type guy for cheap. On a sidenote, here is something the Sox should consider since I think production wise you have to look at Nomar as easily as good of Edgar. Edgar is better defensively though and is safe in the sense of health status. But since the Sox are in the PR mode as well (and I know I spoke heavily against this type of moves) you have to think the impact (PR wise) of a Nomar signing would be pretty big and I'd think the Sox would consider that. Me, I think Nomar at 7 mill is worth it and his pr ability is just better (even though he doesn't like getting interviews, etc, Nomar is a big name). Plus the Sox don't tie themselves up long term. Either way I'd be very excited with either move.

I'm still hoping ND steps up and gets him. I think Meyer would prefer ND. I imagine his wife would rather live in Florida though. And I'm not much of a fan of Zook going to ND. I'd rather have Tyrone.

Jesus...Arizona also has offered Troy Glaus a deal and could pursue Clement as well. They must be dealing RJ, but if they are planning on spending this type of money why in the hell would you trade the best pitcher in baseball????

Well for those not wanting Ortiz it looks like the Dbacks may get him: "Arizona stands a strong chance of landing free-agent pitcher Russ Ortiz to help anchor a new-look starting rotation, and the roster will likely include a new name for the infield as well, as first baseman Richie Sexson has rejected the Diamondbacks' latest contract offer."

God I hope he accepts it. They met tonight in Utah and according to the tribune an offer was made. This would be such a fantastic hire. Please accept it, please accept it. ND would get their guy and Meyer would get his choice. Seems like a great fit http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

This is where I will stray from my typical opinion on the radar gun, but I wnat the Sox to bring in a power pitcher. A guy they can call out of the pen that can strike out guys with runners in scoring position. I just don't think that of any of the Sox minor league relievers at this point. I like Baj the best of them simply because he seems to have some nice downward plane. However, Majewski was the one guy I liked quite a bit as a reliever in this organization next to Baj. Fields could be good, but still a bit away and I don't think much of Munoz from what I've seen of him. I could be way wrong though. I've seen him snap a few sick curves but he seems to be going away with it and throwing his slider more for some reason. I heard hints that the org wants him to work more on that, but don't know how legit it is. I have no problem with one or two of them in the back of the pen. I have a problem with Politte being the 3rd best reliever on this club. That scares me. As a 4th reliever fine. I do like Cotts quite a bit though.

Consider the Rangers available. I just wont' have the time to do it.

Personally I never have cared for the he played with hte Cubs or he played with the twins argument. He isn't going to be on the Sox and play and root for another team. Sure he may follow his buddies, but I could give a hoot about that. I long have said I wish the Sox were more like the Twins in the comrodory regard. I remember how much fun the 2000 Sox had, since then it seems few and far between. Although last year was better. I know one thing Pyrz is a pretty solid catcher and the Giants would probably move him cheap. The Sox could probably get him without giving up Konerko or Lee, I just think financially those guys would have to go.

I should add, I'm glad Ozzie said he wants another reliever cause this team drastically needs one. Also very nice to know that he realizes the Sox should get a ground ball pitcher. Intrigued that they may push the fences back out. If they do that then I'd think they would make a heavy push for pitching. Gotta play to your teams advantages.

If the Yanks paid like 16 mill of his contract I'd definately make that swap. Without money involved though I think its took risky. I'd do a Konerko and Contreras for Vazquez swap though (but we know I don't like Contreras, lol).
