In Version 1.0 of Economic Stimulus (ES), there are six games remaining in the season. No team has clinched a playoff spot yet, and there are seven teams in the running for those coveted spots. ES has truly been a competitive league.
Many of the managers have expressed an interest in doing a similar type league again. Details will be posted either Thursday or Friday for Version 2.0 of ES. Returning managers will get first dibs at competing.
Ken :D
09/22/09 Update - Nine of the managers from ES 1 have signed up. I'm not sure if any of the remaining three have any intentions of joining. They do have until Friday, 12:00 noon, EST, to sign up. If you are new to ES and would like to participate, please post a response. It looks like there will be some slots available.
Ken :)
10/05/09 Update - Usually when a league has eleven managers, the last spot is filled immediately. Hopefully we'll get the twelfth signup today. If we get the signup before 5:00 P.M. EST, we'll go with this evening's Pick 3 results.

And because of some sweeps in yesterday's games, no team has clinched a playoff spot, and there are still seven teams in the running for the four playoff spots as the season concludes this evening.
One of the series involves the Yankees and the Red Sox playing at Fenway, with the Yankees having a two game lead over the Bosox in the East Division.
And the White Sox are playing the Cubs at Wrigley, with the White Sox two games behind the Central division leader Expos and the Cubs three games back.

Rosters can be reviewed on: http://strato.berce.us/
Rules of the league:
I. Maximum team salary will be $68 million dollars. This amount has been set to allow all teams an opportunity for some economic stimulus. The league will be set up as a $200 million league, thus it will be necessary to maintain a reserve of $132 million when the season commences and throughout the season.
II. A minimum total of twenty (20) players from that team must be on the team’s roster at all times throughout the season. Team roster sizes are up to the individual manager.
III. Teams are assigned to the stadium associated with the respective team.
IV. At the time they sign up for the league, each manager will select a Pick 3 entity. After twelve managers have signed up for the league, the following evening’s Pick 3 results will be used for determining the order of team selection (highest to lowest).
V. Managers returning from ES 1 are not allowed to select the team they previously (mis)managed. :lol:
VI. A five round serpentine draft will be held once the teams have been selected or assigned. The draft is an opportunity utilize available funds to strength your teams by selecting available free agents from the twelve non-stimulus teams *, and will be serpentine commencing in ascending order of the selected teams payrolls (total lowest payroll goes first, etc.). [* The Orioles, Twins, Pirates, Mets, Giants, the unselected six teams in the group, and the San Diego Padres].
VII. Because their players were avoided like the plague in ES 1 (with the exception of Ed Spiezio), one member of the San Diego Padres must be selected during the draft and remain on the team’s roster throughout the season (this is the Affirmative Action component of the league).
As long as the three basic rules are adhered to (minimum 20 players from the team’s roster, $132 M reserve, and at least one Padre), any player movement, either by trade or free agent acquisition, is allowed.
If you competed in ES 1, and are planning on returning, please indicate the Pick 3 entity next to your name. Potential new managers can include their name on the listing below. Returning players have until next Friday, September 25th to reserve their spots.
