Yes, card flipping is definitely a path. BUT the bargains seems to have diminished as more players become away of who those bargain are...thus driving up their prices.

I've found a few things that work on a budget. There are a lot of cheap players you can platoon to get diamond-level performance (Abreu, Pesky, Tommy Davis, Mize, Dave Henderson, etc.). There are also several cheap RP who have crazy splits and can be used as LH/RH specialists and really help (take a look at Medina, Bummer, Stammen, and Vazquez).

It's a slog, but there are ways to even the odds a bit IMO.
Agree...that's exactly how I built my team, which got to Perfect pretty successfully. But it seems to hit a wall in Perfect.
