    Default Dobber curse?

    Yes, Yu Darvish has had a good start with the Texas Rangers, but the other two players featured in the Dobberbaseball site banner are struggling to start the season.

    Jose Bautista is hitting a disappointing .187, and his OBP is a paltry .318, slugging .355.

    As for Mr.Tulowitzki, he has 7 errors already this season after making only 6 all of last season. He is on pace for 17 homers and 74 RBI, a small cry from his 30 HR, 105 RBI campaign a year ago.

    Is this a curse? Just to be safe, can we change the banner to include players I don't own in any of my leagues?

    My offer: Kemp, Fielder and Beltran.

    Before you can call this a curse, we need to give these guys some time. They're all very good players and there's a reason we selected them for the banner.

    patience, young padawan.

    Tulowitzki is actually a notorious slow starter. check out his career OPS per month:

    APR - .747
    MAY - .751
    JUN - .886
    JUL - 945
    AUG - .936
    SEP - .932

    And Joey Bats is just getting unlucky; his .176 BABIP is second worst in the league!

    My post was 100% tongue in cheek. Sorry if I offended you, I just noticed Bautista and Tulowitzki are off to slow starts since I have them each in a couple leagues. I know they'll turn things around. Just havin' some fun.

    Prepare for the inevitable DL stint, Mr.Dobber haha. I own Hamilton in two leagues as well so let's not talk about him TOO much just in case...

    Nope, you didn't offend me at all.
