Next time someone tries to tell you baseball is boring ...

Dallas Keuchel -- still looking for work ...
... hand them a tape of Sunday's Super Bowl, in which the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3.

What a snooze fest. But, hey, some guy on the Rams set a Super Bowl record by unleashing a 65-yard punt! That probably was the highlight of the game for Los Angeles.

But seriously, the one thing I like about Super Bowl Sunday is that it means it's almost time for pitchers and catchers to report. The NFL is out of our way now. No more experts droning about about "the football," and we can move on to watching a more interesting sport that doesn't result in its players contracting CTE.

Pitchers and catchers report Feb. 12 for the White Sox, as they do for many teams around the league. I'm excited to see spring training get going.

Now, if only some of these 130 remaining free agents could get contracts between now and then.

There's some pretty good players on that list, beyond just the obvious. (Manny Machado and Bryce Harper)

Mike Moustakas, Dallas Keuchel, Craig Kimbrel, think any of those guys could help your favorite team? I'll bet they could.

Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing the Sox take a flyer on someone in the second tier of pitchers to fill out their starting rotation. Gio Gonzalez or Ervin Santana anyone?
