10:36 AM ET 04.28 | What would it mean if the Cubs went after the top free-agent pitcher on the market next winter? "That would show signs that they're obviously wanting to go out and win," said the Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels, the left-hander who might choose to be that guy, "and that they want to do it fairly soon. Not on a 6-to-10-year plan." Don't rule out the possibility - or Hamels' admitted willingness to seriously consider the Cubs. General manager Jed Hoyer and president Theo Epstein are keeping specific thoughts and visions of the Cubs' rebuilding process close to the vest. But baseball insiders say it's not out of the question that the Cubs could be in position to win in the next year or two, depending on the development of key prospects such as Anthony Rizzo and Brett Jackson and whether they extend Matt Garza's contract.

"Hamels' admitted willingness to seriously consider the Cubs"

Translation: Hamels is going to the highest bidder, prospects of winning be damned.

Maybe if Hamels has tired of finishing in the playoffs,he'd consider the Cubs.He'll get better offers from better teams.

I think Hamels will be courted by many teams. The Cubs? Probably don't have a chance.
