So far, I'm leaning towards no.

I've played about 10 seasons now, and the seasons where I tried to limit my budget, I always did terrible, despite having what should have been a dominant pitching staff. The only seasons I came close to contending were the ones where I basically broke the bank and either signed, or traded for high priced "hired guns". It seems like it's impossible to win unless you basically fill all your positions with all star calibre talent.
