Bob Dutton with the Jack Z quotes:

.

Zduriencik doesn’t hold to the game’s long-held protocol that a club must play 40 or 50 games in order to make any legitimate overall assessment.

“I just think it’s an ongoing evaluation,” he said. “I’ll look at 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 games. It’s always ongoing to figure out exactly where you’re at, and what your club is doing.”

“We made a couple of moves the other day,” Zduriencik said, “because we thought they were the right thing to do at the time. And we’ll continue to look at it.”

Okay, if it's in a vacuum?, the Z-o-Vision would translate that as "you can lose your job tomorrow if I lose confidence in you."

The Mainframe has absolutely no problem-o with this.  Like Earl Weaver said, "You promise a rookie a job, and if he goes 3-for-53 you are out of a job."  Earl was not known for being out of a job; in fact he was never fired from anything at any level.
