Tim Dierkes is reporting that the Astros did not offer arbitration to Doug Brocail and Randy Wolf.
This is pretty surprising, because arbitration results in a one-year deal - like the Astros are afraid to lose in arbitration. I agree with Dierkes: Run-DMc must have a pretty hardline figure in mind for the '09 payroll...
