I think they will keep all of the A ball players together, maybe Adamczeski moves up to A+. I don't think they will move Made and Pena up this year since they skipped a level. I would expect them to do a A+ 1/2 AA 1/2 next year.
Here is a spreadsheet I just put together using Prospect 1500, MLB Prospect Top 30 and Brewerfan Top 20. I also included Brewers that were Pre-Arby. We have a very healthy organization for the next 10 years. Feel free to download.

I am very glad our organizational chart looks this healthy and robust. We have at least 7 MLB ready starting pitchers with at least 3-6 years of team control with each level stocked with quality prospects. Our A Level team at Carolina looks soooooo good, it could have 5 MLB position players in 3-4 years. Just happy to be a Brewers fan!

With all our quality starters, I have been thinking about ways to make sure they don't exceed pitch count until the playoffs. I am assuming a Quintina trade.
1 Peralta/Ashby piggyback (5+2-3 innings) 1-2 innings of relief
2 Woodruff/Hall piggyback (5+2-3 innings) 1-2 innings of relief
3 Misiorowski/Patrick piggyback (3+4 innings) 2 innings of relief
4 Cortes (5 -6 innings) 3-4 innings of relief
5 Priester/Henderson piggyback (5+3-4 innings) 0-1 innings of relief

Arizona is going to try to get us in a bidding war with the Cubs and whoever else. Don't fall for this trap. Botino/Burke and a couple of under 30 prospects. Let the Cubs over pay.
Do not sell any young controllable pitchers for a two-month rental! We have the makings of a super solid starting pitcher staff for five years.

I know injuries will happen, that is why you keep them all.
1 Get Carlos Santana. Cheap upgrade rental and good teammate.
2 Get a high end reliever. Minn and Balt seem to want to sell.
3 Trade Quintana to a AL contender for one top 15 or two top 30 organization prospects.
4 Wave Hoskins name around the AL and see if anyone bites.
We don't need to trade any MLB ready pitching to any contender in the National League! I don't want Cortez or Quintana to bite us in the ... during the NL playoffs. If we were fortunate to get to the WS and the Yankees or other AL team had either, that is just part of trading.
Brewers get Neto
Angels get Ortiz, Perkins/Mitchell, Pratt, Adams/Boeve, Black/Wilken, C. Rodriquez.
A short and long term replacement at SS, a MLB Speedy CF, two corner infielder with power and a MLB ready pitcher. ?????
Don't sell Ortez low...
Abrams for Pratt and Quero.
We get a very good SS for 3 years relatively cheap until Made, Pena, Areinamo get to MKE with Durbin and Ortez fighting it out at 3B.
I hate giving up two almost ready products, but that is the price you pay for going for it.
Maybe they will just keep Nestor (and his fresh arm) for a playoff run with Woodruff, Peralta Mis, and Cortez as the starters. That leave Jose Q on the outside. Maybe they try to trade him?
With about a week away, I will make a guess.

I don’t necessarily agree or disagree. Tobias has about 5 years of cheap service left and could turn into a nice 3rd or4th starter, not bad, Suarez has a half year of marginal cost service left for a very nice power 3B. That is a 10:1 ratio in terms of service time. Convince me Suarez is more than ten times better.
C Schmidt is having surgery and the Yankees might want someone friendly with experience...
NYY get Nestor Cortes SP
MB get #16 Gage Zeihl RHP and #24 Roc Riggio 2b
I was at the Mudcat game yesterday afternoon and and Meccage looked impressive. His fastball sat at about 93 miles an hour and his curveball was really good. I was sorry that Jesus did not play, but Pina looked really good, really fast and quick.
That is why I would not give up too much for him. He does have great defense, which the Brewers and I love. I look at him as similar to Don Money back in the day. Sit him at number six or seven in the lineup. If we could get great defense and 20 home runs for the next two years, I would be happy. Maybe a change of scenery and winning more than losing would help.
