BCB Tracking Poll Voters Seem To Agree On Need To Create Payroll Space, Disagree On How

This week's poll was open from Monday afternoon through Tuesday, and received 180 responses. Here are some notable results:

  • A near majority (49%) of voters think the Brewers should non-tender or trade players this offseason to free up payroll space. 40% think they should not.
  • Kameron Loe (44%), Casey McGehee (39%) and Manny Parra (38%) were the most popular choices to be non-tendered, but none received a majority of votes.
  • Meanwhile, voters strongly opposed non-tendering Shaun Marcum (7%), Nyjer Morgan (10%) and Carlos Gomez (13%).

Follow the jump for the full results.

Assuming the Brewers' payroll budget remains around $90 million, they currently have slightly more than $10 million to spend to fill first base, shortstop, two bench spots and three bullpen vacancies. How should they proceed?
