Phillies Don't Offer Arb. to Burrell and Moyer

Both Burrell and Moyer are Type A free agents, which means that if the Phillies had offered one or both arbitration and either declined, they would have been given two draft picks as compensation. The risk is that a panel of arbitrators will decide how much of payroll is dedicated to one or two players if they accept, and the Phillies' front office may think they can do better than Burrell and Moyer at their likely prices.
