Rest-of-Season Projections
Brocail has announced his retirement, according to the Houston Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
At age 42, Brocail admitted: "It's harder to get my arm in shape, and the talent just isn't there anymore." Statistically, it did appear he fell off a cliff last season, throwing just 17.2 innings and walking more batters than he struck out. After Brocail's 15 seasons, long for a guy who was never given much of a chance to start or close, he holds a 4.00 ERA and a winning record at 52-48.

It was a lost season for Brocail -- he spent a good portion of 2009 on and off the disabled list after declining season-ending surgery in July. He is just one year removed from a string of a couple successful seasons, so he still may have the stuff to be a viable late-inning option in front of an established closer. He figures to sign a non-guaranteed minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with another team at some point before February.
