Andrews has had a nice start to his season. But he threw a total of about 10 innings for the organization all of last year. He's also left-handed, which brings into question exactly what they have in mind for him. JMO but I think there's more "prove it" innings in his future. If he continues to do well I could see him as another LH option but I don't know about anything more substantial.

I think Uribe is still a ways off but I'd love to be wrong about that.

The team was super-high on Andrews before his TJ, and now that he’s 100% and throwing as hard as he ever has (94-95 with deception) and has 3 above average pitches with pretty good command of those pitches, I think he could get the call anytime now.

Uribe probably needs more time but he also could go straight to MKE from Biloxi with the stuff he has. If he keeps stacking clean innings throwing 100-102mph with his ridiculous SL he should be up sooner than later.

Yeah, put me in the camp that thinks Uribe is ready right now. They may not call him up just yet, but I see no reason why he can't jump straight from Biloxi to MKE.

Guerra has an electric arm but has only thrown 115 innings total n 5 years as a professional; plus they traded a decent prospect for him, I don’t think they’ll cut bait after a poor outing.

Matt Bush on the other hand, hasn’t been good since the Brewers traded for him, his seat is probably starting to get warm but at 1.85 million dollars, he’ll likely get more chances if he’s healthy.

Refresh me please, who did we trade for Guerra?

Victor Castaneda. Here is his fangraphs page: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/victor-castaneda/sa978399/stats?position=P

He was going to be moved to the bullpen this season. Decent FB. Think splitter was his best pitch. Definitely has MLB bullpen potential.

Why do you think Uribe is a ways off?

In '21, '22 and so far this season he's thrown 41.2 innings and walked 33. I imagine it's due to him not having command of his off-speed stuff, which he'll need at least to some extent at the major league level even throwing 100+.

He has better command of his slider than he does of his FB and the command has greatly improved. Since he returned from his knee injury his command has been much improved. 15 innings between AFL and AA with 23 K to 6 BB.

I see he's walked four in 5 innings so far this season. That won't cut it up here unless he gives up virtually no hits, which is what he's pretty much doing in Biloxi. I'll defer to you since it sounds like you've followed him more closely while I'm just looking at the numbers. Better slider command than FB command is interesting. Sounds like he might simply be a mechanical adjustment away.
