It depends on what you consider a small budget. I limited my payroll to approximately $70 million (this was always near the bottom compared to other teams and often I had smaller) and during that span my team finished:

6,2,2,2,2,2,1,4,1,3,1,1,2,1

As you can see I had five consecutive (and very frustrating) 2nd place finishes and then afterwards managed to make it to 5 world series, winning four of them.
