This week's Brew Crew Ball Tracking Poll was open from Monday at noon through the day Tuesday, and received 312 responses. Here are some notable results:
- 55% of voters said they do not approve of the Brewers' decision to keep Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds over Juan Francisco.
- 65% feel they made the correct decision, however, by keeping Jeff Bianchi over Elian Herrera.
- 38% feel the Brewers made the correct decision by sending down Rob Wooten as one of four candidates for the final bullpen spot, but 34% would've preferred Zach Duke be the odd man out.
- Doug Melvin's approval rating is at 70% this week, down 11% from last week.
