- 65% of fans say the Brewers should not exceed a two-year offer to Ryan Dempster. Another 20% think they should take their two-year offer off the table.
- Voters are split (44% to 43) on whether the Brewers should have offered Brandon McCarthy a bigger contract than what he got from the Diamondbacks.
