I think it's all about word choice, similar to BB. Media people rag on BB for his non-answers. That doesn't make BB a liar. It's all in HOW you answer the question.
"We don't have plans to bring Devers up right now" doesn't mean "we are definitely not calling him up."
Also, s*** changes. Sorry shhhhh changes... Unless DD all of a sudden thinks Brentz is a middle of the order bat or starts to feed Swihart massive amounts of roids, they'll have to get someone else with a decent power profile to round out the lineup.
