Jeff was/is a very good ball player. The unfortunate thing is that his "swing" is a National League swing. Some hitters never can make the transition between the different strike zones. Jeff's failure to hit here was not due to a lack of effort on either his or the Mariner's part. Jeff is a Washington resident and was one long before he moved to the M's. Hopefully he stays in the area. Sometimes things just don't work as planned.
